Scientific paper
The LISA Technology Package (LTP) is the payload of the European Space Agency's LISA Pathfinder mission. LISA Pathfinder was instigated to test, in a flight environment, the critical technologies required by LISA; namely, the inertial sensing subsystem and associated control laws and micro-Newton thrusters required to place a macroscopic test mass in pure free-fall.
The LTP is in the late stages of development - all subsystems are currently either in the final stages of manufacture or in test. Available flight units are being integrated into the real-time testbeds for system verification tests.
This poster will describe the LTP and its subsystems, give the current status of the hardware and test campaign, and outline the future milestones leading to the LTP delivery.
