HYPER: ATOM INTERFEROMETRY IN SPACE
The objective of the HYPER project is to use the very high sensitivity of the atomic interferometry in space for research in fundamental physics This project is sustained by many scientists in the atomic physics community1 and by ESA. After a short introduction, the second part will describe the recent development in atom interferometry. The third part is dedicated to the description of the mapping of the Lense-Thirring effect with an atomic gyroscope.
