The Gravity-Probe-B is a mission, designed to test one deduction of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (the second one, from 1915). Specifically, some weird things are supposed to happen around rotating masses - sort of, as if time and space are "dragged along" - this part of the theory was not confirmed yet, while many other predictions have already been confirmed.

Leland posts the weekly updates, for anybody interested.

As you can see in one of the recent weekly updates, the mission is about to finish, so we can expect to have some results soon. The people in charge of the mission decided not to publish preliminary science data.
