Abstract
We discuss a null experiment to search for the fifth force at ranges a round 10 km. It is proposed to use a three-axis gravity gradiometer to measure the trace of the Earth gravity tensor from a freely falling e levator dropped by a balloon. The main error sources are considered to some extent.
