STEP is one of a number of missions now being developed to take advantage of the quiet space environment to carry out very sensitive gravitational experiments. Using pairs of concentric free-falling proof-masses, STEP will be able to test the equival

Electrostatic charging of the LISA proof masses by penetrating cosmic rays and energetic solar particles in interplanetary space leads to two kinds of spurious forces: i) Lorentz interaction due to the motion of the charged proof masses through the i

The MiniSTEP drag-free control system must reduce the atmospheric drag forces acting on the spacecraft by seven orders of magnitude, to yield an average residual acceleration of less than 3·10 −14 m s −2 averaged over the measurement bandwidth.

Experiments to test the Equivalence Principle in space are typically suggested for flight in low-Earth, circular, Sun-synchronous orbits at 400–600 km altitude. In these orbits the spacecraft routinely traverses the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), wh

A limiting disturbance that affects high-precision weak-force experiments in space using proof-masses, such as MiniSTEP (MINImal Satellite Test of the Equivalence Principle) and LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna), is due to charging of the pro

Various proposed space experiments to test the weak equivalence principle (EP) use ultra-precise differential accelerometers in Earth orbit. A common feature of these accelerometers is that their test masses are physically constrained in some manner,

The build-up of electrical charge on the proof masses is an important disturbance for LISA. The charging is due to penetrating particle radiation (primarily protons) from cosmic rays, and from the Sun during solar flares. Estimates of charging rates

Space-borne physics experiments involving the measurement of small motions of test bodies are likely to be limited by disturbance forces. Of particular concern are forces arising from electrostatic charging of the test body due to interactions with p

Gravity Probe-B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two extraordinary, unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. The experiment will check, very precisely, tin
