Sensor Noise in $LISA$ $Pathfinder$ : In-Flight Performance of the Optical Test Mass Readout

Armano, M. Audley, H. Baird, J.

We report on the first subpicometer interferometer flown in space. It was part of ESA's Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) Pathfinder mission and performed the fundamental measurement of the positional and angular motion of two free-falling test masses. The interferometer worked immediately, stably, and reliably from switch on until the...

In-flight testing of the injection of the LISA Pathfinder test mass into a geodesic

Bortoluzzi, D. Vignotto, D. Zambotti, A.

LISA Pathfinder is a technology demonstrator space mission, aimed at testing key technologies for detecting gravitational waves in space. The mission is the precursor of LISA, the first space gravitational waves observatory, whose launch is scheduled for 2034. The LISA Pathfinder scientific payload includes two gravitational reference sensors...
