The details of progress in United States gravimetry during the period 1979–82, reported below, have been compiled largely from unpublished reports, personal communications to the authors and the authors' own knowledge of recent developments. A representative sampling of important literature published during the period is included. Recent developments in gravimetry in the United States are highlighted by the development and deployment of a new portable absolute gravity apparatus, a rebirth of airborne gravimetry in the form of an accurate operational helicopter gravity measuring system, the impending fabrication of a superconducting gravimeter for geodetic surveys, and the establishment of a new long‐range calibration line.
