Scientific paper

Carrying out fundamental physics experiments in the relatively noise-free environment of space seems to be a natural and inevitable consequence of the continuing need to improve our understanding of Nature's weakest force, gravity. The experiments discussed in this special issue are attempting not only to measure some of the untested predictions of Einstein's theory of General Relativity but also to look for cracks at its very foundations. The motivation is not to deliberately try to disprove General Relativity but to search for clues as to how to improve the theory in a way which makes it more conducive to unification with the other forces of Nature. The main emphasis of the meeting was on three key missions of which two, STEP and LISA, are being studied within the programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) and one (GP-B) which is an approved mission within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
