Abstract
We propose an experimental test of the gravitational interaction with antimatter by measuring the branching fraction of the CP~violating decay in space. We show that at the altitude of the International Space Station, gravitational effects may change the level of CP~violation such that a 5 discrimination may be obtained by collecting the produced by the cosmic proton flux within a few years.
