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…
