        improvements and relativistic measurements are presented. In
        particular, the results regarding the development of new models
        for the non-gravitational perturbations that affect the orbit of
        the LAGEOS and LARES satellites are described and discussed.
        These are subtle and complex effects that need a deep knowledge
        of the structure and the physical characteristics of the
        satellites in order to be correctly accounted for. In the field
        of gravitational measurements, we present a new measurement of
        the relativistic Lense-Thirring precession with a 0.5\%
        precision. In this measurement, together with the relativistic
        effect we also estimated two even zonal harmonics coefficients.
        The uncertainties of the even zonal harmonics of the
        gravitational field of the Earth have been responsible, until
        now, of the larger systematic uncertainty in the error budget of
        this kind of measurements. For this reason, the role of the
        errors related to the model used for the gravitational field of
        the Earth in these measurements is discussed. In particular,
        emphasis is given to GRACE temporal models, that strongly help
        to reduce this kind of systematic errors.}",
