  4. ATTIVITA’ DEL GRUPPO di TRENTO Principalinvestigator della missione LISA Pathfinder • ----- Il monitoraggio dello sviluppo del programma e delle prestazioni • -----Attività di “shadowengineering” : • supporto all’indagine/soluzione delle non-conformances riportate sull’hardware consegnato • ------ Supporto alla missione: • sostegno alla MissionCritical Design Review, supporto all’analisi degli aspetti critici della missione • ------ Sviluppo dell’esperimento in orbita e dell’analisi dati • ------Sviluppo dei tool di analisi dati: nel 2012 Release 3.0 del software di analisi dati LTPDA • ------ Preparazione delle operazioni di LISA PF Testing a terra del sensore gravitazionale con pendoli di torsione Testing a terra della fase di rilascio in volo della test mass

  5. Stato di avanzamento di LISA Pathfinder • LTP status: allpartsdelivered and workingtospecsexceptsfor: • - EH repairingactivityunderway (guardringdetachmentduringvibration test) • - Charge management sistemunderperforming: fix under finalisation • TM launchlock: foundtechnicallyfeasiblesolutions; CDR isunderway. Science Module: H/W complete - except -LTP Coreassembly -Micro-propulsion system: identified more that one viable alternatives, including a cold-gas based one with off-the-shelf maturity that is now the likely adopted baseline. Final decision in 2012. • In 2011 a quite important test of all the optical metrology integrated into the complete spacecraft (except for the inertial sensor) and within a full space simulator, has been performed. The test has been a success. LANCIO NEL 2014

  10. On ground Test Mass releasetesting • Attività gennaio-giugno 2012 • Misura del trasferimento di quantità di moto utilizzando l’attuatore attualmente a disposizione (PILine)con i mock-up intermedio (100g) e pesante (1kg) di test mass. • Elaborazione dei dati sperimentali raccolti al fine di ricavare la legge forza-elongazione del legame adesivo • Lavorazione di inserti Au/Pt con morfologia superficiale rappresentativa del recesso piramidale della test mass di volo per successive prove di trasferimento di quantità di moto in assenza di coating d’oro o in presenza di coating antiadesivo • Attività previste 2012-2013 • Misura del trasferimento di quantità di moto utilizzando l’attuatore attualmente a disposizione (PILine)con il mock-up pesante (1kg) di test mass impiegando inserti Au/Pt privi di coating d’oro o dotati di coating antiadesivo • Misura del trasferimento di quantità di moto installando il GPRM nella facility.

  11. The Test Mass release testing • The Grabbing Positioning and Release Mechanism (GPRM) is designed to hold and release the TM into free fall. • The release is performed by quick retraction of two tips. • The TM may be captured by the capacitive actuation system if its residual velocity after release is less than 5 micron/s (10-5 Ns impulse). • Gold coated surfaces (tip/TM) develop strong adhesive bonds. • Adhesion between the tips and the TM produces a pull (a momentum transfer) during release. • The verification of the requirement of residual velocity is part of the LISA PF ground testing activities. • The Transferred Momentum Measurement Facility is developed to characterize the TM release velocity

  20. Test performed exploring different directions of retraction searching the maximum impulse • With 100g TM dummy the max measured impulse is 3.5×10-5N*s (3.5 times the requirement) • Possible margin hidden by the “slow” tip retraction performed in the experiment wrt the GPRM Grabbing Positioning and Release Mechanism (GPRM) Impulse (N*s) vs. tiporientation Impulse (N*s) vs. tiporientation • Extrapolation to in-flight release made with the identified mathematical model of the mechanism shows compliance with the requirement (2.6 margin factor) • Due to the criticality of the release, the testing of the GPRM EQM in the TMMF is foreseen for improved representativeness
