1. Given the sensitivity of LISA Pathfinder and that of eLISA, how do we plan to distinguish numerous gravitational wave signals and detect the source for each of them?
2. How has been the performance of micro-thrusters? Have they been tested yet?
3. What are the requirements or constraints taken into account for designing trajectory for such missions?
4. Can you extrapolate these results with respect to formation flying?
5. Can eLISA mission also give more insight into Space Environment?

Congratulations to ESA on the results from LPF! As a Ph.D. student in Aerospace Engineering, I would like to know about the future research prospects in eLISA and similar missions, specifically with respect to Guidance, Navigation and control? What is the primary research focus to achieve performance requirements for Disturbance Reduction System and maintain the necessary stability of the spacecrafts of eLISA.

Thank you so much! Can you recommend or may be guess any specific research focus to improve/solve this problem.

Congratulations again.
