arXiv:gr-qc/0210065 · doi:10.1016/j.asr.2006.04.010
Abstract
In this paper the most recent developments in testing General Relativity in the gravitational field of the Earth with the technique of Satellite Laser Ranging are presented. In particular, we concentrate our attention on some gravitoelectric and gravitomagnetic post--Newtonian orbital effects on the motion of a test body in the external field of a central mass.
