AB - This paper reviews experimental measurements of the Equivalence Principle, placing them in an historical context. Emphasis is given to prospective Space-based tests of the Equivalence Principle, where there is real potential for investigation into a region of the appropriate parameter space where the EP may well be violated. The STEP (Satellite Test of the Equivalence Principle) experiment, with a target sensitivity of 10-18 for the Eötvös ratio, η, is used as an exemplar for such experiments, arid is discussed in some detail.
