We hsve developed a new system for tbe messurement ofthe verticsls gravity gradients. Tbe objective ofthis Is to rsise and to Iower smoothly, and in a controlled, form a gravitymeter Lacoste&Romberg type G and in this way to determine the vertical gravity gradient in that point. Tbe system is light, easily detachable and transportable to be opersted in field. Tbe prototype, in Its last version, was put into operation on tbe last October and presented in tbe "Summer School on Micro-Gravimetric Metbods: ststic and dynamic aspects" celebreted in Lanzarote (Canary Islands) on October .23-.25, .2005, co-organizated by tbe International Gravimetric Bureau, the International Center for Earth Tides and the Institute of Astronomy and Geodesy (CSIC-UCM)
