A comment on "A test of general relativity using the LARES and LAGEOS satellites and a GRACE Earth gravity model", by I. Ciufolini et al.
Abstract
Recently, Ciufolini et al. reported on a test of the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense–Thirring effect by analyzing about 3.5 years of laser ranging data to the LAGEOS, LAGEOS II, LARES geodetic satellites orbiting the Earth. By using the GRACE-based GGM05S Earth's global gravity model and a linear combination of the nodes
