Performance
Scientific paper
The LTP (LISA Technology Package) is the core part of the LISA Pathfinder mission. The main goal of the mission is to study the sources of any disturbances that perturb the motion of the freely-falling test masses from their geodesic trajectories as well as to test various technologies needed for LISA.
The LTP experiment is designed as a sequence of experimental runs in which the performance of the instrument is studied and characterised under different operating conditions. In order to best optimise subsequent experimental runs, each run must be promptly analysed to ensure that the following ones make best use of the available knowledge of the instrument. In order to do this, all analyses must be designed and tested in advance of the mission and have sufficient built-in flexibility to account for unexpected results or behaviour. To support this activity, a robust and flexible data analysis software package is also required.
This poster presents two of the main components that make up the data analysis effort: the data analysis software and the mock-data challenges used to validate analysis procedures and experiment designs.
