Abstract
In the last few years, the observation of gravitational waves by means of LIGO and Virgo interferometers and the success of LISA Pathfinder, gave a significant boost to the development of space-based gravitational wave observatories. The European Space Agency confirmed LISA as the third large class mission of the Cosmic Vision program. The present work is part of the Drag Free and Attitude Control System (DFACS) preliminary prototyping study, which aims at the development of mathematical models and advanced controllers for the science phases of the LISA mission. Nonlinear modelling is a fundamental step for the derivation of linearized and decoupled models as well as for the development of suitable linear and nonlinear controllers. In this paper, an analytical nonlinear model is derived, which describes all the relevant dynamics of a LISA spacecraft, representing an effective compromise between accuracy and complexity. The model is extensively validated through linearization analysis and Monte Carlo simulations.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
