The new geodetic satellite LARES 2, cousin of LAGEOS and sharing with it almost the same orbital parameters apart from the inclination, displaced by 180 deg, was launched last year. Its proponents suggest using the sum of the nodes of LAGEOS and of LARES

Is There Still Something Left That Gravity Probe B Can Measure?
We perform a full analytical and numerical treatment, to the first post-Newtonian (1pN) order, of the general relativistic long-term spin precession of an orbiting gyroscope due to the mass quadrupole moment J 2 of its primary without any ...

GRAVITY ANOMALY ASSESSMENT USING GGMS AND AIRBORNE GRAVITY DATA TOWARDS BATHYMETRY ESTIMATION [PDF]
The Earth’s potential information is important for exploration of the Earth’s gravity field. The techniques of measuring the Earth’s gravity using the terrestrial and ship borne technique are time consuming and have limitation on the vast area.

Gravity field due to a homogeneous oblate spheroid: Simple solution form and numerical calculations
We present a simple derivation of the interior and exterior gravitational potentials due to oblate spheroid and also its gravity field components by using the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation in oblate spheroidal coordinates.

On Testing Frame-Dragging with LAGEOS and a Recently Announced Geodetic Satellite
Recently, Ciufolini and coworkers announced the forthcoming launch of a new cannonball geodetic satellite in 2019. It should be injected in an essentially circular path with the same semimajor axis a of LAGEOS (Laser Geodynamics Satellite), in orbit ...

Dynamics of an acoustically trapped sphere in beating sound waves
A focused acoustic standing wave creates a Hookean potential well for a small sphere and can levitate it stably against gravity. Exposing the trapped sphere to a second transverse traveling sound wave imposes an additional acoustic force that drives the ...

A signal-strength model for gravity-field spectrum components in a local space
In the Earth gravity-field model, potential coefficients are projections of the Earth gravitational potential on the corresponding spherical harmonics by degree and order.

A mathematical model of the bathymetry- generated external gravitational field
The currently available global geopotential models and the global elevation and bathymetry data allow modelling the topography-corrected and bathymetry stripped reference gravity field to a very high spectral resolution (up to degree 2160 of spherical ...

The inverse problem of the gravitational field of planets as a physical problem
A key feature of the new physical method of interpretation of the Earth's gravity field is determination of the sequence of discrete characteristics of density structures - the mass moments with respect to local rectangular coordinate system. Information
