Microgravitation in space

Abstract: Summary. The paper describes the microgravitational field acting in a rotating platform in inertial motion around a planet. It is shown that the equipotentials are, under circumstances, families of hyperboloids or ellipsoids, degenerating in particular cases in hyperbolic or in elliptical cylinders, or even in a family of parallel planes.

“…The by far greatest effect, that of the attraction of the spherical Earth, is eliminated leading to a significant accentuation of the small effects produced by mountains and valleys and all other density variations on and inside the Earth. Antonio Marussi (1908Marussi ( -1984, a great geophysicist and geodesist, in a series of wonderful papers explained that these acceleration differences correspond to the curvatures of plumb lines and level surfaces of the Earth's gravitational field at satellite altitude, see (Marussi 1979(Marussi , 1984(Marussi , 1985. This is the principle of gravitational gradiometry as it was implemented for the first time in space with ESA's dedicated gravity mission "Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer" (GOCE).…”

“…Pioneer works about satellite gradiometry are [16] about GRADIO or [17] or more generally in Rummel [18,19], Marussi [20], Hotine [15] and others. The first satellite mission equipped by a gradiometer (differential micro-accelerometer) was GOCE [6].…”
