A Simplified Gravitational Reference Sensor for Satellite Geodesy
Anthony Davila Alvarez, Aaron Knudtson, Unmil Patel +16
We describe a Simplified Gravitational Reference Sensor (S-GRS), an ultra-precise inertial sensor for future Earth geodesy missions. These sensors are used to measure or compensate…
Charge Induced Acceleration Noise in the LISA Gravitational Reference Sensor
Timothy J Sumner, Guido Mueller, John W Conklin +2
The presence of free charge on isolated proof-masses, such as those within space-borne gravitational reference sensors, causes a number of spurious forces which will give rise to a…
A New Torsion Pendulum for Gravitational Reference Sensor Technology Development
Giacomo Ciani, Andrew Chilton, Stephen Apple +4
We report on the design and sensitivity of a new torsion pendulum for measuring the performance of ultra-precise inertial sensors and for the development of associated technologies…
Drift mode accelerometry for spaceborne gravity measurements
John W. Conklin
A drift mode accelerometer is a precision device that overcomes the much of the acceleration noise and readout dynamic range limitations of traditional electrostatic accelerometers…
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…
