Abstract

The behavior of two bodies interacting gravitationally onboard a drift-free Earth satellite orbiting at the altitudes of the Alpha international space station is investigated. A numerical simulation of the trajectories of the relative motion of aparticle is performed, as a result of which preliminary estimates of the precision of the experiment are obtained. An estimate of the measurement precision of the parameters of gravitational interaction is given.
