A new laser-ranged satellite for General Relativity and Space Geodesy II. Monte Carlo Simulations and covariance analyses of the LARES 2 Experiment
Ignazio Ciufolini, Erricos C. Pavlis, Giampiero Sindoni +4
In the previous paper we have introduced the LARES 2 space experiment. The LARES 2 laser-ranged satellite is planned for a launch in 2019 with the new VEGA C launch vehicle of the…
A new laser-ranged satellite for General Relativity and space geodesy: I. An introduction to the LARES2 space experiment
Ignazio Ciufolini, Antonio Paolozzi, Erricos C. Pavlis +8
We introduce the LARES 2 space experiment recently approved by the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The LARES 2 satellite is planned for launch in 2019 with the new VEGA C launch vehicl…
An Improved Test of the General Relativistic Effect of Frame-Dragging Using the LARES and LAGEOS Satellites
Ignazio Ciufolini, Antonio Paolozzi, Erricos C. Pavlis +7
We report the improved test of frame-dragging, an intriguing phenomenon predicted by Einstein's General Relativity, obtained using 7 years of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data of…
LARES Satellite Thermal Forces and a Test of General Relativity
Richard Matzner, Phuc Nguyen, Jason Brooks +11
We summarize a laser-ranged satellite test of frame-dragging, a prediction of General Relativity, and then concentrate on the estimate of thermal thrust, an important perturbation…
