内容記述 | An overview of STEP, the Satellite test of the Equivalence Principle will be presented. This space-based experiment will test the Universality of free fall and is designed to advance the present state of knowledge by over 5 orders of magnitude. The international STEP collaboration is pursuing a development plan to improve and verify the technology readiness of key systems. We will discuss recent advances with an emphasis on accelerometer fabrication and test. The transfer of critical technologies successfully demonstrated in flight by the Gravity Probe B mission will be described. |
