摘要
We describe the current design of the European gravitational sensor (GS) for the LISA Technology Package (LTP) that, on board the mission SMART-2, aims to demonstrate geodetic motion within one order of magnitude of the anticipated LISA performance. We report also the development of a noise model used in assessing the performance and determining the feasibility of achieving the overall noise goals for the GS. This analysis includes environmental effects that will be present in the sensor. Finally, we discuss open questions regarding the GS for LTP and LISA, ground testing, and verification issues.
