| Description | The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna mission is a planned gravitational wave detector consisting of three spacecraft in heliocentric orbit. Laser interferometry is used to measure distance fluctuations between test masses aboard each spacecraft to the picometer level over a 5 million kilometer separation. The Disturbance Reduction System comprises the pointing and positioning control of the spacecraft, electrostatic suspension control of the test masses, and point-ahead and acquisition control. This paper presents a control architecture and design for the Disturbance Reduction System to meet the stringent pointing and positioning requirements. Simulations are performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed architecture. |
