The
FG5 System
Dropping Chamber
,
Interferometer
,
Superspring
,
System Controller
, and
Electronics
. A test mass is allowed to free-
fall inside the evacuated
Dropping Chamber
. The
Interferometer
is used to
monitor the position of the freely-falling test mass. The
Superspring
is an active
long-period isolation device used to provide an inertial reference for the gravity
measurement. The
System Controller
(computer) allows a flexible user
interface, controls the system, acquires data, analyzes data, and stores the
results. The
Electronics
provides high accuracy timing necessary for the
measurement and provides system servo control.
