A hypothetical anomalous coupling of charge to gravity is considered leading to a violation of the Universality of Free Fall. Corresponding tests suffer from stray electric fields induced by the Earth's gravitational field and by non-ideal materials. Here we show that in space under free fall conditions and with the use of novel coating techniques the errors for this kind of experiment can be decreased considerably. As a result, a test of the Universality of Free Fall for charged matter can be carried through leading to an estimate for the Eötvös coefficient at the 10-5 level.
