Abstract
Laser ranging observations on a succession of spacecraft bearing corner retroreflector prisms have favored a model for velocity aberration that depends on the Fresnel–Fizeau frame-dragging effect in the material medium of the reflector. The present analysis, based manifestly on the principle of relativity, supports the classical medium-independent Bradley aberration model. Possibilities for resolving the conflict are discussed and a proposed improved experiment is outlined.
