This is a list of links covering subjects related to the GPB project. To find out what other sites have had to say about GPB itself, along with its mission, try GPB. To learn more about the actual designers and builders of GPB, see Related persons, companies and agencies. For further information concerning the theories the project will test, try Relativity. If you are interested in the creator of relativity theory himself, Albert Einstein, check out the pages under Einstein. Technology follows up on other applications for the technology utilized by GPB. Astronomy & Space Science contains links to other space exploration efforts. Space Flight gives information on launch vehicles similar to the one that will put GPB in orbit. For teachers, students and the curious, Education and Learning contains great interactive sites for lessons and reference in both relativity and a wide variety of space-related topics.

• Gravitational Physics: Exploring the Structure of Space and Time (1999)
  This online book, written by the National Research Council Committee on Gravitational Physics, assesses the achievements of the field over the past decade in both theory and experiment and identifies the most promising opportunities for research in the next decade. The book examines topics such as gravitational waves and their detection,classical and quantum theory of strong gravitational fields, precision measurements, and astronomical observations relevant to the predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity. GP-B is mentioned on page 84.
