Relativistic correction in the laser ranging of spacecrafts. (Russian. English summary) Zbl 1150.70379

Denisov, M. M.

Mat. Model. 20, No. 6, 57-66 (2008).

The author examines numerically relativistic corrections to the radiolocation observations considered as a part of relativistic effects and caused by the noninertial motion of the observation station and by a weak influence on laser signals of the Earth gravitational field.
