The Earth's frame-dragging via laser-ranged satellites: A Response to “Some considerations on the present-day results for the detection of frame-dragging after the final outcome of GP-B” by Iorio L.

In this letter, we reply to the preceding paper by Iorio (EPL, 96 (2011) 30001 (this issue)), hereafter referred to as I2011, where we address criticisms regarding the Lense-Thirring frame-dragging experiment results obtained from the laser ranging to the two LAGEOS satellites.
