Constraints on chameleon gravity from the measurement of the electrostatic stiffness of the MICROSCOPE mission accelerometers
Martin Pernot-Borràs, Joël Bergé, Philippe Brax +4
This article is dedicated to the use the MICROSCOPE mission's data to test chameleon theory of gravity. We take advantage of the technical sessions aimed to characterize the electr…
MICROSCOPE's constraint on a short-range fifth force
Joel Bergé, Martin Pernot-Borràs, Jean-Philippe Uzan +5
The MICROSCOPE experiment was designed to test the weak equivalence principle in space, by comparing the low-frequency dynamics of cylindrical "free-falling" test masses controlled…
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…
MICROSCOPE mission: Data analysis principle
Joel Bergé, Quentin Baghi, Emilie Hardy +10
After performing highly sensitive acceleration measurements during two years of drag-free flight around the Earth, MICROSCOPE provided the best constraint on the Weak Equivalence P…
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…
MICROSCOPE mission analysis, requirements and expected performance
Pierre Touboul, Manuel Rodrigues, Gilles Métris +16
The MICROSCOPE mission aimed to test the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) to a precision of . The WEP states that two bodies fall at the same rate on a gravitational fiel…
Space test of the Equivalence Principle: first results of the MICROSCOPE mission
Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +31
The Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), stating that two bodies of different compositions and/or mass fall at the same rate in a gravitational field (universality of free fall), is a…
Gaussian regression and power spectral density estimation with missing data: The MICROSCOPE space mission as a case study
Quentin Baghi, Gilles Métris, Joël Bergé +3
We present a Gaussian regression method for time series with missing data and stationary residuals of unknown power spectral density (PSD). The missing data are efficiently estimat…
Odyssey 2 : A mission toward Neptune and Triton to test General Relativity
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Agnès Lévy +13
Odyssey 2 will be proposed in December 2010 for the next call of M3 missions for Cosmic Vision 2015-2025. This mission, under a Phase 0 study performed by CNES, will aim at Neptune…
