STE-QUEST

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Space-Time Explorer and Quantum Equivalence Principle Space Test (STE-QUEST) is a proposed satellite mission to test the Einstein Equivalence Principle to high precision and search for new fundamental constituents and interactions in the Universe. It will contain an atom interferometer. It was selected for an initial assessment phase as one of the five candidates of the European Space Agency's Cosmic Vision program.
