On the orbit of the LARES satellite
This paper is motivated by the recent possibility to find an inexpensive launching vehicle for the LARES satellite, however at an altitude much lower than originally planned for the LAGEOS III/LARES satellite. We present here a preliminary error analysis corresponding to a lower, quasi-polar, orbit, in particular we analyze the effect on the LARES node of the Earth’s static gravitational field,...
متن کاملThe LARES mission revisited: an alternative scenario
In the original LARES mission the general relativistic Lense–Thirring effect would be detected by using as observable the sum of the residuals of the nodes of the existing passive geodetic laser-ranged LAGEOS satellite and of its proposed twin LARES. The proposed nominal orbital configuration of the latter one would reduce the systematic error due to the mismodelling in the even zonal harmonics...
متن کاملA comment on the paper “ On the orbit of the LARES satellite ” , by I . Ciufolini
In this note we comment on a recent paper by I.Ciufolini about the possibility of placing the proposed terrestrial satellite LARES in a lowaltitude, nearly polar orbit in order to measure the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect with its node. Ciufolini claims that, for a departure of 4 deg in the satellite’s inclination i from the ideal polar configuration (i = 90 deg), the impact of the...

In this note we comment on a recent paper by I.Ciufolini about the possibility of placing the proposed LARES satellite in a low-altitude, nearly polar orbit in order to measure the Lense-Thirring effect with its node. While Ciufolini claims that for a departure of 4 deg from the ideal polar configuration the impact of the even zonal harmonics of the geopotential, modelled with EIGEN-GRACE02S, w...
