Abstract
- We present the scientific motivation for future space tests of the equivalence principle, and in particular the universality of free fall, at the 10<superscript>− 17</superscript> level or better. Two possible mission scenarios, one based on quantum technologies, the other on electrostatic accelerometers, that could reach that goal are briefly discussed. This publication is a White Paper written in the context of the Voyage 2050 ESA Call for White Papers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
