摘要
We present a test of general relativity, the measurement of the Earth's dragging of inertial frames. Our result is obtained using about 3.5 years oflaser-ranged observations of the LARES, LAGEOS, and LAGEOS 2 laser-ranged satellites together with the Earth gravity field model GGMO5S produced by the space geodesy mission GRACE. We measure mu = (0.994 +/- 0.002) +/- 0.05, where is the Earth's dragging of inertial frames normalized to its general relativity value, 0.002 is the 1-sigma formal error and 0.05 is our preliminary estimate of systematic error mainly due to the uncertainties in the Earth gravity model GGMO5S. Our result is in agreement with the prediction of general relativity.
