AB  - <jats:p>We present the performance of a MEMS accelerometer capable of sub-migroGal Allan variance out to a period of 1000 s. The gravimeter incorporates a monocrystalline silicon suspension and capacitive sensing with electromagnetic feedback. The gravimeter is capable of operation over 10 degree tilt range under Earth gravity, allowing unsupervised operation after remote deployment with a three-axis gapleran geometry. The suspension incorporates temperature compensation to minimse the need for thermal isolation. &#160;The overall mass of the instrument is about 0.6 kg mass, &#160;including the packaged sensor heads, the electronics board and associated connectors and cabling with a power requirement of less than 400 mW. &#160;The performance and resource profile make this a promising instrument for both terrestrial deployment in extreme environments as well as planetary deployment.</jats:p>
