The Impact of the Static Part of the Earth's Gravity Field on Some Tests of General Relativity with Satellite Laser Ranging
TLDR
In this paper, the classical secular precessions of the node Ω and the perigee ω of an Earth artificial satellite induced by the even zonal harmonics of the static part of the geopotential up to degree l = 20.Abstract:
In this paper we calculate explicitly the classical secular precessions of the node Ω and the perigee ω of an Earth artificial satellite induced by the even zonal harmonics of the static part of the geopotential up to degree l = 20. Subsequently, their systematic errors induced by the mismodelling in the even zonal spherical harmonics coefficients Jl are compared to the general relativistic secular gravitomagnetic and gravitoelectric precessions of the node and the perigee of the existing laser-ranged geodetic satellites and of the proposed LARES. The impact of the future terrestrial gravity models from CHAMP and GRACE missions is discussed as well. Preliminary estimates with the recently released EIGEN-1S gravity model including the first CHAMP data are presented.read more
