We investigate the limits of our cold atoms interferometer to rotation and acceleration measurements. In contrast with previous atomic setups, emphasis was placed on the long term stability and compactness of the device through the use of laser cooled atoms, as previously shown with the field of atomic clock. It has been designed to give access to all six axes of inertia (three accelerations and three rotations). The expected improvement in stability will enable to consider applications in inertial navigation, geophysics and tests of general relativity as the equivalence principle or Lense-Thirring effect. Cesium atoms are loaded as a vapor into two independent magneto-optical traps for 140 ms at 2 Hz repetition rate. The two cesium clouds are launched into two opposite parabolic trajectories using moving molasses at 2.4 m.s{sup}(-1), with an angle of 8° with respect to the vertical direction. At the top of their trajectory, the atoms interact with three Raman lasers pulses, equivalent to beam splitters (for π/2 pulses) and mirrors (for π pulses), thus generating an interferometer of 80 ms total interaction time. The use of two atomic sources allows to discriminate between the acceleration and rotation.
