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…
MICROSCOPE mission: first constraints on the violation of the weak equivalence principle by a light scalar dilaton
Joel Bergé, Philippe Brax, Gilles Métris +3
The existence of a light or massive scalar field with a coupling to matter weaker than gravitational strength is a possible source of violation of the weak equivalence principle. W…
Determination of the Equivalence Principle violation signal for the MICROSCOPE space mission: optimization of the signal processing
Emilie Hardy, Agnès Levy, Gilles Métris +2
The MICROSCOPE space mission aims at testing the Equivalence Principle (EP) with an accuracy of . The test is based on the precise measurement delivered by a differential…
Validation of the in-flight calibration procedures for the MICROSCOPE space mission
Emilie Hardy, Agnès Levy, Manuel Rodrigues +2
The MICROSCOPE space mission aims to test the Equivalence Principle with an accuracy of . The drag-free micro-satellite will orbit around the Earth and embark a different…
