Experimental demonstration of bias rejection from electrostatic accelerometer measurements
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Serge Reynaud
In order to test gravitation in the Solar System, it is necessary to improve the orbit restitution of interplanetary spacecrafts. The addition of an accelerometer on board is a maj…
Measuring the absolute non-gravitational acceleration of a spacecraft: goals, devices, methods, performances
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Serge Reynaud
Space provides unique opportunities to test gravitation. By using an interplanetary spacecraft as a test mass, it is possible to test General Relativity at the Solar System distanc…
Electrostatic accelerometer with bias rejection for deep space gravitation tests
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Serge Reynaud
The trajectory of an interplanetary spacecraft can be used to test gravitation in the Solar System. Its determination relies on radio tracking and is limited by the uncertainty on…
Unbiased acceleration measurements with an electrostatic accelerometer on a rotating platform
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Serge Reynaud
The Gravity Advanced Package is an instrument composed of an electrostatic accelerometer called MicroSTAR and a rotating platform called Bias Rejection System. It aims at measuring…
Electrostatic accelerometer with bias rejection for Gravitation and Solar System physics
Benjamin Lenoir, Agnès Lévy, Bernard Foulon +3
Radio tracking of interplanetary probes is an important tool for navigation purposes as well as for testing the laws of physics or exploring planetary environments. The addition of…
