Scientific paper

We consider an experiment in which an atomic wave interferometer is tied to a telescope pointing towards a faraway star in a nearly free falling satellite. Such a device is sensitive to the acceleration and the rotation relatively to the local inertial frame, as well as to the tidal gravitational effects which are considered here as a perturbation to the signal. We present briefly the method to calculate the rotation of the telescope due to the aberration and the deflection of the light in the gravitational field of a central mass. Within the framework of a general parameterized description of the problem, we discuss the contributions which must be taken into account in order to observe a specific process. We study the case of a satellite orbiting around the Earth, Jupiter and the Sun in order to measure the Lense Thirring effect.
