The ESA space astrometry mission Gala, due for launch in early 2012, will in addition to its huge output of fundamental astrometric and astrophysical data also provide stringent tests of general relativity. In this paper we present an updated analysis of Gaia's capacity to measure the PPN parameter gamma as part of its core astrometric solution. The analysis is based on small-scale astrometric sol
Elevators has for a long period of time been regarded as unsafe to use as a means of egress.
