Description
We have developed a broad and cohesive programme for tackling low-TRL technology items and the extreme systems-engineering challenges for ET Suspensions. Key elements of the programme are: the OmniSens experiment for active isolation in 6 DoF, development of novel sensors for suspension sensing and control, Femto + Optimal Controls models of complete suspension systems, cryogenic modelling, and a structured approach to interfaces and requirements. We will show how these elements can be combined to produce a complete, controlled, state-space model of an ET-LF suspension that meets multiple challenging requirements beyond the simplest challenge of 'residual seismic motion'.
