The possibility of launching a satellite in a planetary orbit to test the general theory of relativity is being investigated. As a first step, a drag-free system model for a laboratory simulation was fabricated in order to acquire the fundamental technique and reveal unexpected problems. It was demonstrated that a two-dimensional drag-free simulator functioned successfully. It could continue operating faultlessly until the gas reservoir expired (4 hours); an important start for the realization of a drag-free satellite in the future.
