The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a planned gravitational wave detector to be positioned in space. It consists of three spacecrafts that use Long Range Interferometry (LRI) to measure relative distance changes ...

The satellite pair of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) Follow-On orbits the Earth, while their inter-satellite distance changes are measured with an accuracy never reached before. This is achieved with ...

The subject of this thesis is noise investigations on the LISA Pathfinder OMS ground setup. LISA Pathfinder (LPF) is a planned ESA technology demonstration space- mission, the LPF spacecraft features an optical measurement ...

This thesis was carried out in the area of gravitational physics, specifically in the fields of gravitational wave astronomy and gravimetry. Both fields do or will make use of satellite missions. The planned gravitational ...
