The recently suggested SEE (Satellite Energy Exchange) method of measuring the gravitational constant G, possible equivalence principle violation (measured by the Eötvös parameter η) and the hypothetic 5th force parameters α and λ on board a drag-free Earth's satellite is discussed and further developed. Various particle trajectories near a heavy ball are numerically simulated. Some basic sources of error are analysed. The G measurement procedure is modelled by noise insertion to a ``true'' trajectory. It is concluded that the present knowledge of G, α (for λ≥ 1 m) and η can be improved by at least two orders of magnitude.
