LISA Pathfinder is a ESA technology demonstration mission planned to be launched in 2010 to test LISA core technologies that cannot be tested on ground. The LISA Pathfinder satellite carries two experiments: the LISA Technology Package (LTP) from ESA, and the Disturbance Reduction Noise (DRS) from NASA. The LISA Technology Package will primarly demonstrate test mass drag-free control and isolation to better than 3× 10−14 ms−2/√Hz, and spacecraft control with micronewton thrusters. A set of 4 heterodyne Mach-Zehnder interferometers is utilized for the read out of test mass displacement and rotation to better than 10 pm/√Hz and 10 nrad/√Hz in the frequency range from 3-30 mHz respectively. Currently we are testing engineering models of different subsystems and preparing a test bed for investigations on flight hardware. This talk presents the current status in the development and implementation of the LISA Technology Package and a series of tests conducted as software and hardware simulations for on-orbit operation.
