Gyros, Clocks, Interferometers...: Testing Relativistic Gravity in Space

Many new tests of gravity and, in particular, of Einstein''s general relativity theory will be carried out in the near future: The Lense--Thirring effect and the equivalence principle will be tested in space; moreover, gravitational waves will be detected, and new atomic interferometers and clocks will be built for measurements in gravitational and inertial fields. New high-precision devices have ...
