The orbit of a free-flying test mass having differing inertial and gravitational masses relative to a reference mass obeying the equivalence principle (EP), depends on the EP-violation e as well as on the release conditions. For every orbit a release error does exist which compensates for the EP effect. The secular term in the relative distance of the masses (due to orbit period changes) is also dependent on a combination of e and release errors in a non-separable way.
