Abstract
The dark matter hypothesis has been put forward to account for a discrepancy between the Newtonian dynamical mass and the observable mass in large astronomical systems. Dark matter is believed to dominate the universe and it should be in range of 90 to 99 % of its total mass. Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) is an empirically motivated alternative to cosmic dark matter which satisfies an impressive proportion of observational tests. An experimental test of MOND is described, based on the mutual interaction of two bodies in an environment of very low residual gravity, such that an observable parameter of the motion, a frequency of oscillation, shall determine the possible validity of MOND.
