Proceedings of the Annual Gravity Gradiometer Conference (17th) Held in Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts on 12-13 October 1989

Abstract

Fourteen papers were presented at this conference, reviewing the status of terrestrial gravity gradiometers, applications of gravity gradiometry and cryogenic gradiometer technology. The status of the Gravity Gradiometer Survey System (GGSS) was reviewed and the future of gradiometry was projected in terms of instrumentation and applications. The technical papers covered test program results, applications to gravity field mapping, gravity signal processing, geophysical interpretation, space applications, inertial navigation aiding, new instrumentation and application to strategic arms reduction treaty verification. This report consists of viewgraphs of the presentations. Keywords: Navigation; Gravity mapping; Superconducting gradiometers; Cryogenic inertial instruments.
