In principle, gravity gradiometers are immune to the effects of acceleration and vibrations. In real instruments, scale factor errors and structural compliance lead to undesired instrument outputs. Described here are the instruments and the fundamental sources of the problems, a calculation of the magnitude of the effects, a demonstration of the need for isolation in the Shuttle (indeed, almost any spacecraft), and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory eddy current isolation technique and its current development status.
