LISA pathfinder micronewton cold gas thrusters: in-flight characterization [PDF]

, 2019
The LISA Pathfinder (LPF) mission has demonstrated the ability to limit and measure the fluctuations in acceleration between two free falling test masses down to sub-femto-g levels. One of the key elements to achieve such a level of residual acceleration
