The purpose of an accelerometer is to measure non-gravitational specific forces, whereas a drag-free system aims at reducing non-gravitational forces on a test mass. Both measurement and reduction of non-gravitational forces are important prerequisites for scientific satellite missions in fundamental physics and geodesy. In this chapter, the main principles are explained and methods for the control design of drag-free systems are discussed.
