A piezoresonance method for measuring accelerations in space physics studies
Abstract
A piezoresonance accelerometer has been developed for measuring the accelerations of the tip of a 15-m-long beam carrying a superconducting magnet which will be deployed from a spacecraft during space experiments involving a study of an artificial magnetosphere. The general design, operation, and technical specifications of the accelerometer are briefly discussed.
