NASA aims to fly first quantum sensor for gravity measurements

  • NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is developing QGGPf, a quantum gravity gradiometer, for measuring Earth's subtle gravity changes.
  • Earth's dynamic gravitational field changes constantly due to geological processes that redistribute mass across the planet.
  • QGGPf uses ultra-cold rubidium atoms as test masses to measure minute differences in gravitational acceleration, locating anomalies.
  • Ben Stray stated, "No one has tried to fly one of these instruments yet,"; flying it will advance quantum technology.
  • The QGGPf mission, slated to launch later this decade, will validate novel technologies and potentially enhance Earth and space study.
