Details:
The success of LISA Pathfinder, coupled with the first direct detection of
gravitational waves by the LIGO-VIRGO collaboration, opened the door for the
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna. LISA was selected by ESA in
June 2017 as the 3rd Large class mission of the Cosmic Vision programme. LISA consists of 3 satellites in a triangular
constellation of 2.5million km on a side, orbiting the sun in an earth
trailing orbit. The passage of a gravitational wave is observed by monitoring
the length of each arm with respect to the other arms. |
