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^{-…

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…
