 Abstract: The LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the technology of drag-free test
masses for use as inertial references in future space-based gravitational wave
detectors. To accomplish this, the Pathfinder spacecraft will perform drag-free
flight about a test mass while measuring the acceleration of this primary test
mass relative to a second reference test mass. Because the reference test mass
is contained within the same spacecraft, it is necessary to apply forces on it
to maintain its position and attitude relative to the spacecraft. These forces
are a potential source of acceleration noise in the LISA Pathfinder system that
are not present in the full LISA configuration. While LISA Pathfinder has been
designed to meet it's primary mission requirements in the presence of this
noise, recent estimates suggest that the on-orbit performance may be limited by
this `suspension noise'. The drift-mode or free-flight experiments provide an
opportunity to mitigate this noise source and further characterize the
underlying disturbances that are of interest to the designers of LISA-like
instruments. This article provides a high-level overview of these experiments
and the methods under development to analyze the resulting data.
