An Eotvos experiment in earth orbit
The gravitational interactions of mass energy stored in the weak interaction are being investigated. The magnitude of possible Eotvos anomalies, such as weak interaction, gravitational self-energy, spin-orbit interactions, and electromagnetic radiation reaction, are considered. A sensitive experiment was designed to determine whether weak interaction energy violates the equivalence principle. Factors to be considered in spacecraft design for the experiment are presented.
