- Description
- The recently suggested SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) method of measuring the gravitational constant G, possible equivalence principle violation (measured by the Eötvös parameter <math>\eta\,\!</math> ) and the hypothetic 5th force parameters <math>\alpha\,\!</math> and <math>\lambda\,\!</math> on board a drag-free Earth's satellite is discussed and further developed. Various particle trajectories near a heavy ball are numerically simulated. Some basic sources of error are analysed. The G measurement procedure is modelled by noise insertion to a "true" trajectory. It is concluded that the present knowledge of G, <math>\alpha\,\!</math> (for <math>\lambda\,\!</math> <math>\geq 1 m)\,\!</math> and <math>\eta\,\!</math> can be improved by at least two orders of magnitude.
