Laser interferometry for next generation geodesy missions — •Benjamin Sheard, Marina Dehne, Christoph Mahrdt, Vitali Mueller, Martin Sommerfeld, Gerhard Heinzel, and Karsten Danzmann — Albert Einstein Institute, Hannover, Germany

The application of precision laser interferometry to next generation geodesy missions, including both inter-satellite ranging and laser gravity gradiometry, will be discussed. In addition an overview of the commonalities and differences with the interferometer technology developed for the space-based gravitational wave detector Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and LISA Pathfinder and the status of the ongoing development of interferometry for next generation geodesy missions at the AEI Hannover will be presented.
