  2. LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) Introduction • LISA is an ESA-NASA mission. It’s primary scientific goal is to detect gravitational waves with wavelength from 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz. • Three spacecrafts will be launched around 2015, and reach it’s orbits around the Sun after one year. Observation will continue 5-10 years. • LISA Pathfinder will be launch in 2009 to test the technology. Li Guangyu: Some problems in the optimization of LISA orbits

  9. Motion of the constellationcenterPlane co-orbit restricted 3-body problem Take the sun S as origin，the direction to the Earth-Moon barycenter E as x-axis (co-rotating non-inertial coordinate system). The equation of motion of the constellation center C is： 0.00000304 Normalized to length unit 1AU, time unit 1 day and mass unit 1 solar mass. n=0.0172021251 rad/day is the mean angular velocity of the Earth-moon barycenter around the sun (in an inertial system), i.e. the angular velocity of the co-rotating coordinate system.

  10. Motion of the constellation centerEquation of motion in polar coordinates（r,θ） Li Guangyu: Some problems in the optimization of LISA orbits

  11. Motion of the constellation center-first order analytical solution • Because the mass parameterμis small，we can obtain the following first-order analytical solution： • Takeμ=0 (no perturbation by Earth) Li Guangyu: Some problems in the optimization of LISA orbits

  12. Motion of the constellation center-first order analytical solution We get the co-orbit solution: as special solution and the general solution: with h, A and B as integration constants Li Guangyu: Some problems in the optimization of LISA orbits

  16. Motion of the constellation center -first order analytical solution Comparison with high-precision numerical solution： Conclusion: The precision of the first-order approximate analytical solution satisfies the requirements of the space-craft orbit design Li Guangyu: Some problems in the optimization of LISA orbits

  17. Several conclusions concerning the motion of the LISA constellation center • If degree，C is at the Lagrange point L5，(classical result) k describes the orbit instability. Near the earth, k is large and the orbits are not stable. Li Guangyu: Some problems in the optimization of LISA orbits

  18. Several conclusions concerning the motion of the LISA constellation center • For r0=1AU, in our parameter range of interest [-60,-10]，the angleθand the heliocentric distance Δr are nearly monotonic functions of time and thus reach their maximum at the end of the mission lifetime (t = 3700 days) 。The following diagrams show the relation between and θ0 and the maximum values: Li Guangyu: Some problems in the optimization of LISA orbits

  19. Several conclusions concerning the motion of the LISA constellation center • Ifθ0=-20 degrees，we getθmax= -7.85 degrees， Δr = 0.36x106km。With time，the distance to the sun increases，the average angular velocity decreases，and thus the earth-trailing angle increases。If we choose r0 slightly smaller than 1.0AU，it will gradually increase to more than 1.0AU，so we can decrease the variation ofθ。We can use this formula to get an initial parameter r0 for the numerical optimisation。The following diagram shows an optimization result where the variation of theta is below 2.6 degrees. during 80 of the mission lifetime, it is less than 0.5 degrees. The variation of Delta r is larger than before, about 0.8x106km. Li Guangyu: Some problems in the optimization of LISA orbits
