Characteristics and Energy Dependence of Recurrent Galactic Cosmic-Ray Flux Depressions and of a Forbush Decrease with LISA Pathfinder

Michele Armano, +89 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a high counting rate particle detector (PD) aboard LISA Pathfinder was devoted to the measurement of GCR and solar energetic particle integral fluxes above 70 MeV n−1 up to 6500 counts s−1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraints on LISA Pathfinder’s self-gravity: design requirements, estimates and testing procedures

Michele Armano, +98 more
TL;DR: The LISA Pathfinder satellite was launched on 3 December 2015 toward the Sun Earth first Lagrangian point (L1) where the LISA Technology Package (LTP), which is the main science payload, will be tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free-Flight Experiments in LISA Pathfinder

Michele Armano, +91 more
TL;DR: 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 as discussed by the authors, and the Pathfinder spacecraft will perform drag free flight about a test mass while measuring the acceleration of this primary test mass relative to a second reference test mass.
