LARES  

Definition

  • LARES is a small space mission that will achieve important measurements in gravitational physics, General Relativity, space geodesy and geodynamics In particular, together with the LAGEOS and LAGEOS 2 satellites and with the GRACE models, it will provide a very accurate determination of the Earth gravitomagnetic field and of the Lense-Thirring effect. The orbital data are acquired by the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS), a worldwide network of a number of laser-ranging stations. The Data analysis is carried on by a research centre at Sapienza, Univeristy of Rome in collaboration with Italian Space Agency (ASI), University of Salento, Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare (INFN), University of Maryland Baltimore County, NASA Goddard, University of Texas at Austin and the German Research Centre for Geoscience (GFZ) of Potsdam.
