| Abstract: | This paper describes the development of the self-gravity modeling tool used to predict and control the motion of one of the proof masses of the orbiting LISA gravitational wave detector. LISA is a space-borne gravitational wave detector, which is
formed by three spacecraft orbiting the Sun and forming the vertices of an equilateral
triangle with a side of 5 million km in length. Requirements on the forces and moments, and the force gradients and moment gradients, applied to the proof mass exist. This paper computes these quantities analytically, so that gravitational balancing considerations can now be done effectively. |
