The Gravity-Probe-B (GP-B) relativity gyroscope experiment will test two effects of general relativity: (1) the geodetic precession of a gyroscope due to its Fermi-Walker transport around a massive central body; and (2) the motional or gravitomagnetic precession of the gyroscope due to rotation of the central body itself. The experiment will also provide a determination of the deflection of starlight by the sun and an improved determination of the distance to Rigel. In the Shuttle testing phase of the program, prototype hardware is being developed for a full-scale ground model of the GP-B instrument.
