Testing the weak equivalence principle with macroscopic proof masses on ground and in space: A brief review

General relativity is founded on the experimental fact that in a gravitational field all bodies fall with the same acceleration regardless of their mass and composition. This is the weak equivalence principle, or universality of free fall. Experimental evidence of a violation would require either th...
