The LTP contains two vacuum enclosures separated by about 40 centimeters, each of which houses a cubic test mass. These test masses were released during the operation of LISA Pathfinder in a controlled way, and the their deviations from the (nearly) force-free levitation measured with the highest precision by means of an interferometer (located between the vacuum enclosures).
