Review of Gravity Probe B

Gravity Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed by NASA and Stanford University to test two unverified predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

Review of Gravity Probe B assesses the project in the areas of scientific importance, technical feasibility, and competitive value and provides a basis for NASA's decision to continue with the project as scheduled. The launch of Gravity Probe B is currently targeted for October 26, 2000.
