It has absolutely nothing to do the MM experiment.

The MM experiment was devised to find if light required a medium for propogation like sound waves requiring air.

The Probe B experiment is devised to find

(a) The geodesic effect where the "start" and "end" points of the satellite orbit are determined. If the points coincide space-time is flat, if not there is curvature.

The experiment is based on how mathematicians calculate curvature by loop integrating a surface.

(b) Frame dragging where an object in orbit can drag space-time with it.
