The Atom Interferometry Test of the Weak Equivalence Principle in Space (Q-WEP) is devoted to a precise measurement of the effect of gravity on matter using an atom interferometer; it tests one of the fundamental pillars of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity with high precision and thereby searches for hints of quantum effects in gravity, contributing to the exploration of one of the current frontiers in fundamental physics.

GRAVMOD-2 is a software tool developed by Astos Solutions and GMV for ESA.
It adds guidance analysis and on-board manoeuver capabilities to the gravitational modelling core of GRAVMOD-1 originally developed by DEIMOS. The unique mathematical models and architecture make it particularly suitable for the modelling of the gravity field of highly irregular bodies such as small moons, asteroids or comets. GRAVMOD-2 is composed of two main modules:
