MICROSCOPE is a space mission launched in 2016 that aims to test the validity of the Equivalence Principle (EP), the main postulate of General Relativity (GR), with a precision never reached before (Touboul et al. (2001)). EP states that two bodies of different compositions and masses fall with the same acceleration in the same gravitational...

The space mission MICROSCOPE dedicated to the test of the equivalence principle (EP) operated from April 25, 2016 until the deactivation of the satellite on October 16, 2018. In this analysis we compare the free-fall accelerations (a$_{A}$ and a$_{B}$) of two test masses in terms of the Eötvös parameter . No EP violation has been detected for...
