See "linear frame dragging" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame-dragging
Two small masses, initially the same distance from a large mass. One of the small masses has a propulsion system that keeps it at a constant distance from the large mass. The other small mass has no propulsion system and falls toward the oncoming large mass. Do both objects experience linear frame dragging? If not, which one does? What effect does the linear frame dragging have on the small mass(es)?
Thanks,
Jake
