Satellite measurement of the Hannay angle
Alessandro D. A. M. Spallicci
Abstract
The concept of a measurement of the yet unevaluated Hannay angle, by means of an Earth-bound satellite, adiabatically driven by the Moon, is shown herein. Numerical estimates are given for the angles, the orbital displacements, the shortening of the orbital periods, for different altitudes. It is concluded that the Hannay effect is measurable in high Earth orbits, by means of atomic clocks, accurate Time & Frequency transfer system and precise positioning.
