TL;DR: The MICROSCOPE satellite aims to test its validity at the 10^{-15} precision level, by measuring the force required to maintain two test masses exactly in the same orbit, by characterizing the relative difference in their free-fall accelerations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravitational sensor for LISA and its technology demonstration mission
Rita Dolesi,Daniele Bortoluzzi,Paolo Bosetti,L. Carbone,Antonella Cavalleri,I. Cristofolini,M DaLio,Giorgio Fontana,V. Fontanari,Bernard Foulon,C. D. Hoyle,Mauro Hueller,F Nappo,P. Sarra,D. Shaul,T. J. Sumner,W. J. Weber,Stefano Vitale +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the current design of the European gravitational sensor (GS) for the LISA Technology Package (LTP) is described, on board the mission SMART-2, which aims to demonstrate geodetic motion within one order of magnitude of the anticipated LISA performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Solar System Odyssey mission as discussed by the authors uses modern-day high-precision experimental techniques to test the laws of fundamental physics which determine dynamics in the solar system, which could lead to major discoveries by using demonstrated technologies and could be flown within the Cosmic Vision time frame.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) was tested to a precision of $10^{-15} by using two masses of different compositions (titanium and platinum alloys) on a quasi-circular trajectory around the Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices I (ASTROD I) - A class-M fundamental physics mission proposal for Cosmic Vision 2015-2025: 2010 Update
