Relationships with occupations
Essential skill
Perform gravity measurements is an essential skill of the following occupations:
Astronaut: Astronauts are crew members commanding spacecrafts for operations beyond low Earth orbit or higher than the regular altitude reached by commercial flights. They orbit the Earth in order to perform operations such as scientific research and experiments, launching or release of satellites, and building of space stations.
Optional skill
Perform gravity measurements is optional for these occupations. This means knowing this skill may be an asset for career advancement if you are in one of these occupations.
Geophysicist: Geophysicists study the physical characteristics of the earth and apply physical measurements to geological situations. Geophysicists use the principles of gravity, seismicity and electromagnetics to identify the structure and composition of the earth.
