- Description:
- Knowledge of the forces affecting mostly the description of the artificial satellites motion is very important task at present. This is valid especially for the forces of the non-gravitational origin. Their description is done at best via the in-situ measurements of their dynamlcs manifestations, i.e., to use the high-sensitive microaccelerometers. We already built and proved one such a device consisting of a cubic proof-mass free-flowing within an external cubic cavity. Our accelerometer has been succesfully tested on the RESOURCE F-1 satellite on June 1992. A project of another experiment is now being prepared under the náme of ”CESAR” with a participation of five central-European countries. The launch of the proposed satellite is envisaged for 1997.
