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…
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 Mission scenario, ground segment and data processing
Manuel Rodrigues, Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris +9
Testing the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) to a precision of requires a quantity of data that give enough confidence on the final result: ideally, the longer the measu…
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 Satellite and its Drag-Free and Attitude Control System
Alain Robert, Valerio Cipolla, Pascal Prieur +14
This paper focus on the description of the design and performance of the MICROSCOPE satellite and its Drag-Free and Attitude Control System (DFACS). The satellite is derived from C…
