Less credible -- sure, but why meaningless?  Whereas
he  got  a  sinusoidal  signal instead of noise, the
random error is small enough, and if the  singal  is
to  be  accounted  for  by a systematic error then I
ought to ask what kind of error would produce a  di-
urnally  varying lag between the actual and observed
locations?  I agree that the question is better  ad-
dressed to Shtyrkov, though.

The  corresponding  Russian article mentions briefly
that meausurement accuracy was about 10% but the av-
eraging  over  many  observations yielded a precise-
enough result: the observed average orbital velocity
(29.4 km/s) coincides with the value accepted in as-
tronomy (29.8 km/s) to about 1%.  Is it  a  miracle?
Tom  Roberts  thinks  that  this  value  arose  from
Shtyrkov's correction for a non-existent aberration,
but I did not understand what he meant.

No,  it is simply that the galactic component of the
ether wind (declinaton of 89.5  degrees)  is  nearly
coincidental  with  the polar axis and has therefore
but a tiny effect on  diurnal  aberration  from  the
satellite.

To  explain -- the  diurnal  variations of the ether
wind in the plane orthogonal to the  source-observer
line  are caused mainly by the rotation of the Earth
as it changes orientation with respect  to  its  or-
bital  speed, while the galactic component, having a
near-zero  projection  upon  the  equatorial  plane,
causes only a negligible variation.
