"GALILEO GALILEI" GG Small Mission Project

"GALILEO GALILEI" GG

ASI Logo

A small satellite to test the Equivalence Principle of Galileo, Newton and Einstein to 1 part in 10¹⁷ and beyond.

Testing the founding pillar of General Relativity to the highest possible precision in the search for new physics....

Success of the MICROSCOPE mission: first test of the equivalence principle in space reached 10^-14(PRL, Dec 2017). Read our analysis published on Physical Review D (2018): "Testing the equivalence principle in space after the MICROSCOPE mission"; Watch slides of talk given at COSPAR, Pasadena 2018
