Test Mass Caging & Release
•
LISA GRS Impact factor: 2 kg TM  4 mm gap = 810–3 kg m
 Caging required
*Bortoluzzi et al (2010)
•
GRS electrostatic force (5 μN) << Au adhesion force
•
Solution: quick retraction, relying on the TM inertia

LISA Test Mass Release Phase
•
TM residual velocity must be < 5 μm/s
•
Caging & Vent Mechanism final stage designed to minimize
the residual velocity and consists of two opposing tips

Testing Release Phase in the Lab
•
Goal: Determine impulse imparted to TM during dynamic rupture of
adhesive bond in representative conditions of the in-orbit environment
•
On-orbit no contributions of shear (pre-)stress at the
contact patch that may promote the adhesion rupture

Quick retraction

Adhesion Force Data Reduction
•
Force-vs-elongation, Fad(e), function models adhesion
phenomenon
•
•
Can be transformed to on-orbit conditions (mass, release profile, …)
Experimental results show that systematics dominate
•
Statistical approach adopted to bound in-flight release
•
Interferometer measures TM (insert) position, xI
•
Release tip motion, xS, measured separately

Adhesion Force Model
•
Adhesion force modeled as non-linear spring
•
•
•
Fad = kad x
where x = xP – xI
Initial model was empirical: k  Ae Bx

Current model is more general: k 

Parameter Estimation

Model:
xI = h(t, p, xS) + w
xI = measured TM insert motion
h = nonlinear model
p = 7 parameters to be estimated
xS = measured stage motion
w = measurement noise

Estimation algorithm: Levenberg-Marquardt

A priori used for initial velocity and preload

Measurement noise includes:

Interferometer noise:  = 0.9-1.2 nm

Uncertainty in measured positioner motion:  = 5.8 nm

Unmodeled non-Gaussian behavior of residuals

Due to nonlinearities, Monte Carlo method adopted to
estimate confidence interval for in-flight release velocity
