TL;DR: Electrostatic measurements made on board the European Space Agency mission LISA Pathfinder are the first made in a relevant environment for a space-based gravitational wave detector and resolve the stochastic nature of the TM charge buildup due to interplanetary cosmic rays and theTM charge-to-force coupling through stray electric fields in the sensor.

TL;DR: The Space Technology 7 Disturbance Reduction System (ST7-DRS) is a NASA technology demonstration payload that operated from January 2016 through July 2017 on the European Space Agency's (ESA) LISA Pathfinder spacecraft as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the capacitive gap-sensing system of the Gravitational Reference Sensor on board the LISA Pathfinder spacecraft was reported, with a performance of up to 1mHz.

TL;DR: The LISA Pathfinder charge management device was responsible for neutralizing the cosmic-ray-induced electric charge that inevitably accumulated on the free-falling test masses at the heart of the experiment.

TL;DR: In this article, a model of the complete closed-loop system provides a comprehensive understanding of each component of the in-loop coordinates spectral density, and the stability performance of the spacecraft with respect to its geodesic is extracted as a function of frequency.
