Abstract
The Test of the Equivalence Principle with Optical readout in space (TEPO) project is proposed based on optical readout and space inertial sensor techniques. The main objectives are to test the weak equivalence principle at the level of 10-16 and the equivalence principle for the rotating extended macroscopic bodies at level of 10-14. The feasibility of the TEPO project is briefly described, and the requirements of key techniques are discussed.
