Popis: Proposals for determining the gravitational constant G in space are compared and contrasted. We find that only three proposals have carefully treated the many physical processes in the space environment which might potentially vitiate the sought-for accuracy. The capability of the proposed missions to make other gravitational measurements and tests is described.© (1997) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
