Verlaan, A.L. (author), Lucarelli, S. (author)The LISA Optical Stability Characterization project is part of the LISA CTP activities to achieve the required TRL level for all of the LISA technologies used. In 2012 the LISA mission was reformulated and transferred to the New Gravitational Observatory (NGO), which has similar performance requirements. This activity targets the demonstration...conference paper 2017

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)The primary goal of the LISA mission is the detection of gravitational waves from astronomical sources in a frequency range of 10-4 to 1 Hz. This requires operational stabilities in the picometer range as well as highly predictable mechanical distortions upon cooling down, outgassing in space, and gravity release. In March 2011 ESA announced a...conference paper 2012
