Scientific paper

Dragfree missions are needed for very accurate planetary sounding, and for testing of Einstein's theory of gravity. With the state-of-the-art technology, drag compensation in the approximate plane of a spaceprobe orbit is feasible down to (10 to the negative 13th)g; for the out-of-plane component, the achievable dragfree level is only (10 to the negative 12th)g. However, future technology (larger launchers, electric propulsion) can decrease these limits.
