Battelier, Baptiste; Bergé, Joel; et al; Jetzer, Philippe; Rothacher, Markus (2021). Exploring the foundations of the physical universe with space tests of the equivalence principle. Nature, 51(3):1695-1736.
We present the scientific motivation for future space tests of the equivalence principle, and in particular the universality of free fall, at the 10− 17 level or better. Two possible mission scenarios, one based on quantum technologies, the other on electrostatic accelerometers, that could reach that goal are briefly discussed. This publication is a White Paper written in the context of the Voyage 2050 ESA Call for White Papers.
