LISA Pathfinder: Launch-minus-7

We shall outline the LPF mission in all details functional to understanding its peculiar data processing, precursor of that of gravitational waves observatories in space. Based on the analysis of time series and closer to a seismometer than to a telescope, the science of the top geodesy and free-fall ESA mission of our days shall qualify the technology to enable astronomy and cosmology in space. We will detail the mission design and planning efforts, explain how to characterize the hardware from the data analysis of the mission telemetry, open the archive products and tools that will be the mission legacy after its end.
