This research programme is for participation in 3 experiments on space projects that test the predictions of General Relativity (GR) and test foundations of the theory. These are: 1. On GAIA: to determine the bending of light parameter, gamma (=1 in GR) to an accuracy of 1 part in 10^7, and to look for possible angular variations of gamma, which are not predicted by GR but could exist if the foundations of GR are incorrect. 2. Galileo-Galilei: To test the Equivalence Principle, that bodies fall together under gravity, which lies at the foundation of GR. This Italian mission, on which I am a co-investigator, should be able to detect possible violations at a level of 1 part in 10^17 3. CRONOS. Originally an ESA mission of opportunity to determine the gravitational redshift (the slowing down of clocks in a gravitational field) predicted by GR to 1 part in 1000,000 by comparing a high precision clock on board the Russian mission Radioastron with ground based clocks.

本研究计划将参与3个空间项目实验，以检验广义相对论的预测和该理论的基础。它们是：1；关于GAIA：确定光参数gamma（在GR中=1）的弯曲精度为10^7的1分之一，并寻找gamma可能的角度变化，这些变化不是GR所预测的，但如果GR的基础不正确则可能存在。2. 伽利略-伽利莱：为了测试等效原理，即物体在重力作用下会落在一起，这是广义相对论的基础。这个意大利的任务，我是合作者，应该能够在10^17 3的1分之一的水平上检测到可能的违反。克洛诺斯。最初，这是欧空局的一个机会任务，目的是通过比较俄罗斯射电望远镜上的高精度时钟和地面时钟，确定GR预测的引力红移（引力场中时钟的减速）到10万分之一。
