Optical link acquisition for the LISA mission with in-field pointing architecture
Gerald Hechenblaikner, Simon Delchambre, Tobias Ziegler
We present a comprehensive simulation of the spatial acquisition of optical links for the LISA mission in the in-field pointing architecture, where a fast pointing mirror is used t…
LISA Point-Ahead Angle Control for Optimal Tilt-to-Length Noise Estimation
Niklas Houba, Simon Delchambre, Tobias Ziegler +2
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission features a three-spacecraft long-arm constellation intended to detect gravitational wave sources in the low-frequency band up…
Charge-induced force-noise on free-falling test masses: results from LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +91
We report on electrostatic measurements made on board the European Space Agency mission LISA Pathfinder. Detailed measurements of the charge-induced electrostatic forces exerted on…
Constraints on LISA Pathfinder's self-gravity: design requirements, estimates and testing procedures
Valerio Ferroni
LISA Pathfinder satellite has been launched on 3th December 2015 toward the Sun-Earth first Lagrangian point (L1) where the LISA Technology Package (LTP), which is the main science…
Free-flight experiments in LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +89
The LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the technology of drag-free test masses for use as inertial references in future space-based gravitational wave detectors. To accomplis…
The vectorial photoelectric effect under solar irradiance and its application to sun sensing
Gerald Hechenblaikner, Tobias Ziegler
Sun sensors are an integral part of the attitude and orbit control system onboard almost any spacecraft. While the majority of standard analogue sun sensors is based on photo-detec…
Modeling and Performance of Contact-Free Discharge Systems for Space Inertial Sensors
Tobias Ziegler, Patrick Bergner, Gerald Hechenblaikner +2
This article presents a detailed overview and assessment of contact-free UV light discharge systems (UVDS) needed to control the variable electric charge level of free-flying test…
Energy distribution and quantum yield for photoemission from air-contaminated gold surfaces under UV illumination close to the threshold
Gerald Hechenblaikner, Tobias Ziegler, Indro Biswas +6
The kinetic energy distributions of photo-electrons emitted from gold surfaces under illumination by UV-light close to the threshold are measured and analyzed. Samples are prepared…
