The data produced by the future space-based millihertz gravitational-wave detector LISA will require nontrivial pre-processing, which might affect the science results. It is crucial to demonstrate the feasibility of such processing algorithms and assess their performance and impact on the science. We are building an end-to-end pipeline that includes state-of-the-art simulations and noise reduction algorithms. The simulations must include a detailed model of the full measurement chain, capturing the main features that affect the instrument performance and processing algorithms. In particular, we include in these simulations, for the first time, proper relativistic treatment of reference frames with realistic numerically-optimized orbits; a model for onboard clocks and clock synchronization measurements; proper modeling of total laser frequencies, including laser locking, frequency planning and Doppler shifts; and a better treatment of onboard processing. Using these simulated data, we show that our pipeline is able to reduce the most critical noises and form synchronized observables. By injecting signals from a verification binary, we demonstrate that good parameter estimation can be obtained on this more realistic setup, extending existing results from previous LISA Data Challenges.
