Abstract
After an introduction on the meaning of gravitomagnetism and dragging of inertial frames, and a characterization of gravitomagnetism with cu rvature invariants, we present an updated review of the LAGEOS III exp eriment to measure the gravitomagnetic field with two non-polar, passi ve, laser ranged satellites with supplementary inclinations.
