Several satellite projects have been implemented, including the Gravity Probe B (GP-B) and the Laser Relativity Satellite (LARES), which used electrostatic gyroscopes or the orbit data of the ...

However, in some drag-free missions (Gravity Probe B, Hipparcos, GOCE, etc) the feedback control is mandatory. The STRS and SAMS consider a reference trajectory and a trajectory perturbed by external ...

International space supplier Beyond Gravity ’s (formerly RUAG Space, Zürich, Switzerland) Launcher Innovation Team is innovating space launches with a payload fairing concept that allows the carbon ...

Beyond Gravity (formerly RUAG Space, Zürich, Switzerland) has won an order to produce the carbon fiber payload fairings for ArianeGroup ’s (Les Mureaux, France) new Ariane 6 rocket. The new European ...

"The gravity assists have to be precise, but we have very capable people in mission control and they're accustomed to these maneuvers," said payload system engineer Alessandro Atzei.

Two key predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity have been confirmed by NASA's Gravity Probe B mission, scientists announced this week. "We've completed this landmark ...

Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is a beautiful conception of how gravity is actually a consequence of the curvature of spacetime.

It’s taken centuries for our understanding of gravity to evolve to where it is today, culminating in the discovery of gravitational waves, as predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago.
