Ground Testing and Flight Demonstration of Charge Management of Insulated Test Masses Using UV LED Electron Photoemission
Shailendhar Saraf, Sasha Buchman, Karthik Balakrishnan +15
The UV LED mission demonstrates the precise control of the potential of electrically isolated test masses that is essential for the operation of space accelerometers and drag free…
The Design of a Drag-Free CubeSat and the Housing for its Gravitational Reference Sensor
Carlo Zanoni, Abdul Alfauwaz, Ahmad Aljadaan +11
A Drag-Free CubeSat mission has been proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of a Gravitational Reference Sensor (GRS) with an optical readout for a 3 units (3U) spacecraft. A pure…
LISA-2020: An Intermediate Scale Space Gravitational Wave Observatory for This Decade
S. Buchman, J. A. Lipa, R. L. Byer +10
Over the last three decades, an exceptionally good science case has been made for pursuing gravitational wave (GW) astronomy. This has engendered a worldwide effort to detect the e…
UV LED charge control of an electrically isolated proof mass in a Gravitational Reference Sensor configuration at 255 nm
Karthik Balakrishnan, Ke-Xun Sun, Abdul Alfauwaz +15
Precise control over the potential of an electrically isolated proof mass is necessary for the operation of devices such as a Gravitational Reference Sensor (GRS) and satellite mis…
LAGRANGE: LAser GRavitational-wave ANtenna at GEo-lunar Lagrange points
J. W. Conklin, S. Buchman, V. Aguero +36
We describe a new space gravitational wave observatory design called LAGRANGE that maintains all important LISA science at about half the cost and with reduced technical risk. It c…
