Low level accelerometer test methods are investigated

Problems associated with testing accelerometers to an accuracy where the standard error is less than .0000001 g are centered around the elimination of uncertainties in the acceleration input to the accelerometer. By placing a test rig in free fall, the uncertainty in the earths gravity field can be eliminated.
