Annotation
A mathematical model of a relativistic effect that arises in the process of laser ranging of artificial Earth satellites (AESs) from the surface of the Earth is constructed. A numerical calculation algorithm is developed and the amplitude of this effect is calculated as a function of the AES orbital position. It is shown that this effect may be measured in the process of ranging of current Russian AESs equipped with laser corner reflectors.
