2. Magnetic cleanliness
Justification
� The magnetic disturbance acceleration is given by the relation:
where and are the magnetic susceptibility and density
of the proof mass and B the magnetic field.
� A differential disturbance acceleration could be induced by:» The using of platinum-rhodium and titanium for the proof masses» The magnetic environment of the instrument (earth and satellite)
Requirements of the magnetic environment
� Magnetic cleanliness is not clearly specified because there is no analytical
expression
� So only the effects on the instrument are specified:

4. Micro perturbations
Overview
� Micro-perturbations are all physical non periodic phenomena that can temporarily disturb measurements
� List of possible micro-perturbations : � Micro gliding, local buckling, Laplace and Lorentz forces, antenna emission forces, meteorites
and debris effects, mechanical relays, wheels movement, moving mass in the thrusters, liquid sloshing, MLI thermoelastic clanks, tanks release effects …
� Effect on the experiment� Saturation of the instrument involving not available measurements
» Deterioration in the efficiency of data processing
� Possibility of loss of the control loop of the instrument during a measurement session
� The control plan is articulated around the following themes� Design rules (Laplace electromagnetic forces, no mechanism, passive thermal control)
� Dimensioning to prevent micro-gliding at the junctions and local buckling in the structures
induced by thermo-elastic distortion.
� Statistical analysis of the debris and meteorites and the effects on the instrument, using the ESA
software MASTER (Meteoroid and Space Debris Terrestrial Environment Reference). This
software provides space debris flux and spatial densities.
� Tests (choice of external MLI material, tank pressure release, effect of the moving mass in the
thrusters)

4. Micro perturbations
Tests performed
� On the thruster� To estimate the disturbance induced by moving mass
» The gas flow is controlled via a piezo control loop:� A mass of about 5g moves to control the gas flow and
generates reaction forces on the satellite
� The test consists in measuring the disturbances caused by a thrust step of 2µn (representative flight conditions given by AACS)
� Compliant with the instrument constraints
� On the CGPS tank� The tank consist of a metallic liner overwrapped with a high-strength fiber/polymeric
matrix resin composite whose size increases with pressure (350 bars, 5mm on the length). In flight some suggested the possibility of clank during depressurization.
