ASTROD science goals
Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices
Testing relativistic gravity and the fundamental laws of spacetime with 5 order-of-magnitude improvement in sensitivity;
Improving the sensitivity in the 5 µHz to 5 mHz low frequency range for gravitational-wave detection by several orders of magnitude as in LISA but shifted toward lower frequencies;
Increasing the sensitivity of solar, planetary and asteroid parameter determination by 3-4 orders of magnitude.
Detecting of solar g-mode oscillations
Demands post-post-Newtonian ephemeris framework to be established for the analysis and simulation of data.

ASTROD I – Optics design
Ground station and the S/C communicate with each other via optical links.
Ranging with pulsed Laser measurements
S/C carries a telescope, 4 stabilized lasers and an optical bench:– 2 (plus 2 spare) pulsed Nd:YAG lasers with timing system for recording
the receiving and emitting laser pulses from and to ground laser stations.
– Quadrant photodiode detector– 300 mm Ø Cassegrain telescope– Sun light shield system– Inertial sensor– Atomic clock (cesium clock)
2 wavelengths (1064 nm and 532 nm):Elimination of atmospheric and solar corona effects.

Optical bench
Processes light collected by the telescopeSends light back to earthPulsed laser lightLaser mean power: 1 to 2 WPulse width: 20 psRepetition rate: 100 HzIn conjunction: 10-13 W receivedOutgoing light polarized against incoming light

Sunlight entering the optical bench
Telescopes point to each other in the plane of eclipticFor a 30 cm telescope with 0.07 m2 aperture ca. 100 W of light power areentering.Sun light must be kept away from the optical bench.Incoming laser light power is only 100 fWSeveral stages of light blocking are needed to reduce background lightby 15 orders of magnitude.

Spectral filteringSpatial filteringTemporal filtering (timing)
Spectral filtering– Use narrow band filter:
high standard, any wavelength < 1 nm (multi-layer dielectric filter)– 1 nm out of 1064 nm is 10-4, so still have order of 0.1 W against ASTROD I
100 fW
Spatial filtering– Pinhole
Temporal filtering– 100 ns gate; 10 ms repetition rate;– Filtering factor: 10-4

Laser ranging / Timing
Pulse ranging (similar to SLR / LLR)Timing: on-board event timer (± 2 ps)reference: on-board cesium clockFor a ranging uncertainty of 3 mm in a distance of 3 × 1011 m (2 AU), thelaser/clock frequency needs to beknown to one part in 1014 @ 1000 s Laser pulse timing system: T2L2(Time Transfer by Laser Link) on Jason 2

Disturbance accelerations
Analysed with respect to:– Gravity gradients– Solar radiation pressure / solar wind– Solar irradiance– Micrometeorites– Magnetostatic forces– Lorentz force (due to test mass charging)– Cosmic ray impacts– Residual gas effects– Radiometric effects– Outgassing due to thermal effects– Thermal radiation pressure– Gravity gradients due to thermal distortions of the S/C– Test mass sensor back action– Capacitive fluctuations / patch effects– Readout electronics– Dielectric losses
Paris, MG12 2009
Disturbances and requirements
Estimated total acceleration disturbance @ 0.1 mHz:
fp = 8.7 · 10-14 ms-2 Hz-1/2
Drag-free AOC requirements
Atmospheric (terrestrial) air column exclude a resolution of better than 1 mmThis reduces demands on drag-free AOC by orders of magnitudeNevertheless, drag-free AOC is needed to avoid contact between test massand cage.
