A Strategy to Characterize the LISA-Pathfinder Cold Gas Thruster System. (April 2015) - Armano, M
Abstract: The cold gas micro-propulsion system that will be used during the LISA-Pathfinder mission will be one of the most important component used to ensure the "free-fall" of the enclosed test masses. In this paper we present a possible strategy to characterize the effective direction and amplitude gain of each of the 6 thrusters of this system.
