State-space modelling for heater induced thermal effects on LISA Pathfinder's Test Masses
Ferran Gibert, Miquel Nofrarias, Marc Diaz-Aguiló +7
The OSE (Offline Simulations Environment) simulator of the LPF (LISA Pathfinder) mission is intended to simulate the different experiments to be carried out in flight. Amongst thes…
LISA Pathfinder Platform Stability and Drag-free Performance
Michele Armano, Heather Audley, Jonathon Baird +75
The science operations of the LISA Pathfinder mission has demonstrated the feasibility of sub-femto-g free-fall of macroscopic test masses necessary to build a LISA-like gravitatio…
Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
Pau Amaro-Seoane, Heather Audley, Stanislav Babak +81
Following the selection of The Gravitational Universe by ESA, and the successful flight of LISA Pathfinder, the LISA Consortium now proposes a 4 year mission in response to ESA's c…
Closed loop simulations of the thermal experiments in LISA Pathfinder
Ferran Gibert, Miquel Nofrarias, Nikolaos Karnesis +6
The thermal experiments to be carried out onboard LISA Pathfinder (LPF) will provide essential information of the dependences of the instrument with respect to temperature variatio…
The LISA PathFinder DMU and Radiation Monitor
Priscilla Canizares, Aleix Conchillo, Marc Diaz--Aguilo +11
The LISA PathFinder DMU (Data Management Unit) flight model was formally accepted by ESA and ASD on 11 February 2010, after all hardware and software tests had been successfully co…
LISA Pathfinder
Michele Armano, Heather Audley, Jonathon Baird +75
Since the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the observation of gravitational waves, it is fair to say that the epoch of gravitational wave astronomy (GWs) has begun. Howe…
