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 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…
