| Abstract: |
| The fundamental principle of atom interferometer and the advantages of atom gravimeter in microgravity environment are introduced and the present research status and potential applications of atom gravimeters in microgravity environment are described. Compared with other gravimeters, the atomic interference gravimeter becomes a good choice for deep space gravitational field measurement, and the deep space microgravity environment can effectively prolong the interference time of the atomic interferometer and improve the gravimeter sensitivity. |
