“…Examples of such experiments include: MICROSCOPE (Touboul et al 2001), STEP (Mester et al 2001), and GG (Nobili et al 1996) which are designed to test the weak equivalence principle; Viking (Resenberg et al 1979) and Cassini (Bertotti et al 2003) which have made measurements of the Shapiro time delay; LATOR (Turyschev et al 2004) andASTROD (Ni 2002), both of which propose to measure to high accuracy post-Newtonian parameters; GP-B (Buchman et al 2000) a mission to directly measure the effects of framedragging, and finally LISA (Shaddock 2008), and the ground-based gravitational wave detectors (LIGO (Abramovici et al 1992), VIRGO (Acernesse et al 2004), GEO 600 (Danzmann et al 1992), and TAMA (Takahashi et al 2004). In all these experiments, curvature is studied through its effect on some aspect of the motion of particles along geodesics.…”

LISA Pathfinder, formerly known as SMART-2, is the second of the European Space Agency's Small Missions for Advance Research and Technology, and is designed to pave the way for the joint ESA/NASA Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, by testing the core assumption of gravitational wave detection and general relativity: that free particles follow geodesics. The new technologies to be demonstrated in a space environment include: inertial sensors, high precision laser interferometry to free floating mirrors, and micro-Newton proportional thrusters. LISA Pathfinder will be launched on a dedicated launch vehicle in late 2011 into a low Earth orbit. By a transfer trajectory, the sciencecraft will enter its final orbit around the first Sun-Earth Lagrange point. First science results are expected approximately 3 months thereafter.Here, we give an overview of the mission including the technologies being demonstrated.Keywords LISA Pathfinder · Gravitational waves · Inertial sensing · Laser metrology · Charge management · Micro-Newton thrusters · FEEPS · Colloids · DFACS PACS 04.80.Nn · 95.30.Sf · 95.55.Ym

“…Triana also contains a JXTA based peer-topeer module for cycle stealing that forms the basis of the project vision of a Consumer Grid, similar to the SETI@HOME [1] project. Triana has been used successfully in signal, image and text processing workflows, especially within the GEO 600 [4] gravitational wave detection project. Workflows in Triana are authored via drag and drop composition in the Triana workflow graph editor.…”
