Transient acceleration events in LISA Pathfinder data: properties and possible physical origin

LISA Pathfinder Collaboration

We present an in depth analysis of the transient events, or glitches, detected at a rate of about one per day in the differential acceleration data of LISA Pathfinder. We show that…

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…
