Abstract
The results from an experimental verification of the general relativity theory on board a satellite are considered. The idea behind the experiment (Schiff, Stanford, 1960), the geodetic precession of the cryogenic gyroscope, the criticism of the experiment (Mathey and Paris, 1967), the crisis of the idea of cryogenic gyroscopy, the disproof of Mathey’s idea (Institute for Problems in Mechanics (IPM), Moscow, 1975), Lense—Thirring precession, the effect of the Moon and the Sun, Tomas precession, Logunov’s kinematic precession of a gyroscope in the Earth’s gravitational field, and the final behavior of the results from an experiment done nearly 50 years ago are described.
