Abstract. The paper proposes a new method for measuring the gravitational constant G using a high-precision absolute gravimeter and a movable perturbing mass. The prin­ciples of the measuring setup are described; different implementation schemes are pre­sen­ted, and the expected measurement accuracy is evaluated. The method achieves signifi­cantly higher precision compared to existing experiments. The proposed approaches are applicable in fundamental gravity studies as well as in geodesy and navigation tasks.

Keywords: gravitational constant, fundamental physical constants, cryogenic gravimeter.
