CURRENT PROSPECTS FOR ASTROD INERTIAL SENSOR

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices (ASTROD) is a multi-purpose relativity mission concept. ASTROD's scientific goals are the measurement of relativistic and solar system parameters to unprecedented precision, and the detection and observation of low-frequency gravitational waves to frequencies down to 5imes10−6 Hz. To accomplish its goals, ASTROD will employ a constellation of drag-free satellites, aiming for a residual acceleration noise of (0.3-1)imes 10−15 m s−2 Hz−1/2 at 0.1 mHz. Noise sources and strategies for improving present acceleration noise levels are reported.
