Abstract
Following some work by N. Ashby and myself, it is shown how the Fermi construction of local inertial frames can be generalized, in the slow motion approximation, to the neighbourhood of the earth. This allows a clear and simple description of the relativistic effects for the motion of an earth satellite. A proposal by I. Ciufolini to measure the relativistic precession is reviewed.
