CARIOQA-PMP advances space-based gravimetry by developing quantum sensors based on atom interferometry. By utilizing the extended free-fall conditions in orbit, this technology measures Earth’s mass distribution—such as groundwater depletion—with unprecedented precision. The project addresses the critical challenges of adapting and qualifying cold-atom quantum instruments for the demanding space environment.
