Result of the MICROSCOPE Weak Equivalence Principle test
Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +44
The space mission MICROSCOPE dedicated to the test of the Equivalence Principle (EP) operated from April 25, 2016 until the deactivation of the satellite on October 16, 2018. In th…
MICROSCOPE mission: final results of the test of the Equivalence Principle
Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +44
The MICROSCOPE mission was designed to test the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), stating the equality between the inertial and the gravitational masses, with a precision of $10^{-…
MICROSCOPE: systematic errors
Manuel Rodrigues, Pierre Touboul1, Gilles Metris +19
The MICROSCOPE mission aims to test the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) in orbit with an unprecedented precision of 10 on the Eötvös parameter thanks to electrostatic acce…
MICROSCOPE Satellite and its Drag-Free and Attitude Control System
Alain Robert, Valerio Cipolla, Pascal Prieur +14
This paper focus on the description of the design and performance of the MICROSCOPE satellite and its Drag-Free and Attitude Control System (DFACS). The satellite is derived from C…
MICROSCOPE mission analysis, requirements and expected performance
Pierre Touboul, Manuel Rodrigues, Gilles Métris +16
The MICROSCOPE mission aimed to test the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) to a precision of . The WEP states that two bodies fall at the same rate on a gravitational fiel…
Space test of the Equivalence Principle: first results of the MICROSCOPE mission
Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +31
The Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), stating that two bodies of different compositions and/or mass fall at the same rate in a gravitational field (universality of free fall), is a…
The MICROSCOPE mission: first results of a space test of the Equivalence Principle
Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +40
According to the Weak Equivalence Principle, all bodies should fall at the same rate in a gravitational field. The MICROSCOPE satellite, launched in April 2016, aims to test its va…
