The difference in inclination changes of two counter-orbiting polar satellites cancels the Newtonian quadrupole bias and isolates the Lense-Thirring precession, in principle allowing a cleaner Earth-based test.

Using the Difference of the Inclinations of a Pair of Counter-Orbiting Satellites to Measure the Lense-Thirring Effect
The difference in inclination changes of two counter-orbiting polar satellites cancels the Newtonian quadrupole bias and isolates the Lense-Thirring precession, in principle allowing a cleaner Earth-based test.
