Impact of rotation on a cold atom interferometer and compensation strategy
Noémie Marquet, Yannick Bidel, Malo Cadoret +8
Rotations play a detrimental role in achieving ultra-high-performance inertial measurements with an atom interferometer, leading potentially to a total loss of interference contras…
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^{-…
Hybrid electrostatic-atomic accelerometer for future space gravity missions
Nassim Zahzam, Bruno Christophe, Vincent Lebat +11
Long term observation of temporal Earth's gravity field with enhanced temporal and spatial resolution is a major objective for future satellite gravity missions. Improving the perf…
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 instrument in-flight characterization
Ratana Chhun, Emilie Hardy, Manuel Rodrigues +11
Since the MICROSCOPE instrument aims to measure accelerations as low as a few 10\,m\,s and cannot operate on ground, it was obvious to have a large time dedicated to…
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…
MICROSCOPE instrument description and validation
Françoise Liorzou, Pierre Touboul, Manuel Rodrigues +19
Dedicated accelerometers have been developed for the MICROSCOPE mission taking into account the specific range of acceleration to be measured on board the satellite. Considering on…
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…
