Abstract

The general relativistic spin-orbit interaction gives rise to a quasiresonant oscillation of the center of mass of a gyroscope along the orbital normal. The oscillation amplitude appears to be measurable by present-day instruments. The influence of oblateness of the field source is investigated.
