A general approach of least squares estimation and optimal filtering
Benjamin Lenoir
The least squares method allows fitting parameters of a mathematical model from experimental data. This article proposes a general approach of this method. After introducing the me…
Predicting the variance of a measurement with 1/f noise
Benjamin Lenoir
Measurement devices always add noise to the signal of interest and it is necessary to evaluate the variance of the results. This article focuses on stationary random processes whos…
Experimental demonstration of bias rejection from electrostatic accelerometer measurements
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Serge Reynaud
In order to test gravitation in the Solar System, it is necessary to improve the orbit restitution of interplanetary spacecrafts. The addition of an accelerometer on board is a maj…
Measuring the absolute non-gravitational acceleration of a spacecraft: goals, devices, methods, performances
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Serge Reynaud
Space provides unique opportunities to test gravitation. By using an interplanetary spacecraft as a test mass, it is possible to test General Relativity at the Solar System distanc…
Electrostatic accelerometer with bias rejection for deep space gravitation tests
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Serge Reynaud
The trajectory of an interplanetary spacecraft can be used to test gravitation in the Solar System. Its determination relies on radio tracking and is limited by the uncertainty on…
Odyssey 2 : A mission toward Neptune and Triton to test General Relativity
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Agnès Lévy +13
Odyssey 2 will be proposed in December 2010 for the next call of M3 missions for Cosmic Vision 2015-2025. This mission, under a Phase 0 study performed by CNES, will aim at Neptune…
OSS (Outer Solar System): A fundamental and planetary physics mission to Neptune, Triton and the Kuiper Belt
Bruno Christophe, Linda J. Spilker, John D. Anderson +46
The present OSS mission continues a long and bright tradition by associating the communities of fundamental physics and planetary sciences in a single mission with ambitious goals…
Unbiased acceleration measurements with an electrostatic accelerometer on a rotating platform
Benjamin Lenoir, Bruno Christophe, Serge Reynaud
The Gravity Advanced Package is an instrument composed of an electrostatic accelerometer called MicroSTAR and a rotating platform called Bias Rejection System. It aims at measuring…
Electrostatic accelerometer with bias rejection for Gravitation and Solar System physics
Benjamin Lenoir, Agnès Lévy, Bernard Foulon +3
Radio tracking of interplanetary probes is an important tool for navigation purposes as well as for testing the laws of physics or exploring planetary environments. The addition of…
