Using the Difference of the Inclinations of a Pair of Counter-Orbiting Satellites to Measure the Lense–Thirring Effect
Let two test particles A and B, revolving about a spinning primary along ideally identical orbits in opposite directions, be considered. From the general expressions of the precessions of the orbital inclination induced by the post-Newtonian gravitomagnetic and Newtonian quadrupolar fields of the ce...
