Scientific paper

The next decade will witness the coming of age of micro-arcsecond space astrometry. This offers unique opportunities for testing General Relativity (GR) in regimes predicted by the theory but never attempted before, like the case of the light bending effects due to Jupiter's quadrupole.
This work will detail on actual observable scenarios over the next 10 years that the real sky offers space missions like Gaia and SIM to test GR to unprecedented levels, discussing also the advantages of differential astrometric measurements in visible light, compared to both radiometric techniques and radio astrometry.
