Trajectory Design for the ESA LISA Mission

Waldemar Martens, Eric Joffre

The three Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) spacecraft are going to be placed in a triangular formation in an Earth-trailing or Earth-leading orbit. They will be launched t…

Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA

Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318

In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…

Test of the Gravitational Redshift with Galileo Satellites in an Eccentric Orbit

Sven Herrmann, Felix Finke, Martin Lülf +14

On August 22, 2014, the satellites GSAT-0201 and GSAT-0202 of the European GNSS Galileo were unintentionally launched into eccentric orbits. Unexpectedly, this has become a fortuna…

A gravitational redshift test using eccentric Galileo satellites

P. Delva, N. Puchades, E. Schönemann +11

We report on a new test of the gravitational redshift and thus of local position invariance, an integral part of the Einstein equivalence principle, which is the foundation of gene…

Mission design for LISA Pathfinder

M. Landgraf, M. Hechler, S. Kemble

Here we describe the mission design for SMART-2/LISA Pathfinder. The best trade-off between the requirements of a low-disturbance environment and communications distance is found t…
