Abstract
Acceleration measurements are needed to various levels of sensitivity for almost all space missions in the fields of fundamental physics, space geodesy, space exploration, as well as on the space station. Acceleration sensors have a “free” (or weakly coupled) test mass inside a cage rigid with the spacecraft, and yield their relative acceleration by reading the relative displacements (linear and angular, if needed) of the test mass with respect to the cage.
