Abstract
This paper reports on the development of a quantum accelerometers that can be embedded in small satellites for atmospheric drag measurement missions. We present payload concepts for single and double axis accelerometers with sensitivities up to 2.3x10-8 m.s-2.Hz-1/2. The effects of rotations on the instrument sensitivity, including contrast loss and Coriolis acceleration, are discussed.
