Testing General Relativistic Predictions with the LAGEOS Satellites

<table>Relativistic effect from the combined nodal longitude residuals of LAGEOS and LAGEOS II (squares). The average value is 1.056, to be compared with the general relativistic prediction value, 1 (continuous line). MJD stands for “Modified Julian Day”; the considered time period for the analysis starts on 1993.</table>
