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: Statistics and impact of glitches on the test of the weak equivalence principle

Joel Bergé, Quentin Baghi, Alain Robert +6

MICROSCOPE's space test of the weak equivalence principle (WEP) is based on the minute measurement of the difference of accelerations experienced by two test masses as they orbit t…
