LISA Pathfinder Performance Confirmed in an Open-Loop Configuration: Results from the Free-Fall Actuation Mode

M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +75

We report on the results of the LISA Pathfinder (LPF) free-fall mode experiment, in which the control force needed to compensate the quasistatic differential force acting on two te…

Extension of the King-Hele orbit contraction method for accurate, semi-analytical propagation of non-circular orbits

Stefan Frey, Camilla Colombo, Stijn Lemmens

Numerical integration of orbit trajectories for a large number of initial conditions and for long time spans is computationally expensive. Semi-analytical methods were developed to…

Forbush decreases and 2-day GCR flux non-recurrent variations studied with LISA Pathfinder

C. Grimani, M. Armano, H. Audley +82

Non-recurrent short term variations of the galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) flux above 70 MeV n were observed between 2016 February 18 and 2017 July 3 aboard the European Space Age…
