Describes proposed experiments to test whether the equivalence principle is violated when test masses of different chirality are used (parity violation). By Alan M. ("Uncle Al") Schwartz.
Covers current and past projects in experimental gravitational physics using Drag-Free Satellites including the Relativity Gyro, Equivalence Principle, and LISA.
Slides and audio for a talk given by Thibault Damour (IHES) at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (UCSB); information about the Parametrized Post-Newtonian Formalism, classical tests, and recent as well as future satellite tests of general relativity.
Brief text by Neil Ashby (University of Colorado) about the influence of relativistic effects on the satellite navigation system GPS; from the "Matters of Gravity" newsletter.
Gravity Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two extraordinary, unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Article by Mark P. Haugan and Claus Lämmerzahl about the different versions of the equivalence principle (one of the basic assumptions that led to general relativity) and the various experiments that have been performed to test it, as well as those that are planned for the future.
Article by Ingrid H. Stairs (University of British Columbia) published in Living Reviews of Relativity about how pulsar timing methods can be used to test different predictions of general relativity for the propagation of light, gravitational time dilation and the emission of gravitational waves.
Thorough review article by Neil Ashby (University of Colorado) about the various relativistic effects that play a role in the operation of the Global Positioning System and other satellite navigation systems. Published in Living Reviews in Relativity. (June 21, 2007)
