This work investigates the testability by space-based experiments of gravity theories alternatives to general relativity. It enjoys the context of the MICROSCOPE mission that recently improved the precision on the test of weak equivalence principle, pilar principle of general relativity. Being the first experiment to perform such a precision test in a laboratory in space, its results were awaited for testing gravity models that exhibit an environmental dependent dynamics through a screening mechanism. We study the case of scalar-tensor theories. We start by considering simple unscreened models, to obtain their constraints by MICROSCOPE and to explore the entanglement between modified gravity and our knowledge about the Earth mass distributi...
