Abstract
The ISLAND (Inverse Square Law And Newtonian Dynamics) Space Explorer is a new concept to test the gravitational Inverse Square Law at: (1) submillimeter scale and (2) at the largest Solar System scales (dozens of Astronomical Units --AU). The main idea is to embark a torsion pendulum at the center of gravity of a dedicated, possibly drag-free and attitude-controlled, interplanetary probe whose gravitational environment is accurately probed by, and corrected for thanks to six ultrasensitive accelerometers arranged as a cross around the torsion pendulum.
