What is the first result on Gravity Probe B? Please tell me.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There are anomalies to be corrected, so that for now the data doesn't have the expected resolution, esp. for the Lense-Thirring measurement. The final results are expected in december. Geodetic effect is anyway confirmed up to 1% for now.
