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…
The local dark sector. Probing gravitation's low-acceleration frontier and dark matter in the Solar System neighborhood
Joel Bergé, Laura Baudis, Philippe Brax +18
We speculate on the development and availability of new innovative propulsion techniques in the 2040s, that will allow us to fly a spacecraft outside the Solar System (at 150 AU an…
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…
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…
