Description

William Joseph Weber for the LISA Consortium

LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, is in preparation to become the ESA Cosmic Vision L3 mission, an orbiting observatory for gravitational waves in the milliHz band with a target launch in 2035. We present here an overview of the LISA measurement concept and baseline hardware, from the heritage of the single-spacecraft LISA Pathfinder flight test to the unique challenges of the full three-spacecraft LISA observatory.
