Resonant frequency of microwave superconducting cavity sensitive to gravitation and acceleration. Sensitive accelerometer assembled by combining superconducting microwave cavity and conventional microwave semiconductor oscillator circuit. Device measures acelerations as small as 10-10 cm/S2 (10-13 g's). Also configured to measure small gradients in gravitational field of Earth.
Among the topics discussed are: the Olympus satellite program; trends in the Italian space technology; and ESA Space Station planning. Consideration is also given to cooperative international programs, including the Eurostar platform, the Tethered Satellite System, and the SPAS system; space science and applications programs; and the development of next generation space propulsion systems. Among the specific propulsion technologies discussed are: LOX/LR2 engines; the Ariane 5 solid propellant booster; and propulsion systems for earth-to-orbit vehicles.
