Title: NASA Ultra-Sensitive Miniature Accelerometer
Authors: Hartley, F.

Issue Date: 22-Sep-1993
Citation: Huntsville, Alabama, USA
Abstract: Using micro-machined silicon technology, an ultra-sensitive miniature accelerometer can be constructed which meets the requirements for microgravity experiments in the space environment. Such an accelerometer will have a full scale sensitivity of 10<sup>-2</sup>g, a resolution of 10<sup>-8</sup> g, low cross-axis sensitivity, and low temperature sensitivity. Mass of the device is approximately five grams and its footprint is 2 cm x 2 cm.
