LISA Mission
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a large-scale space mission designed to detect one of the most elusive phenomena in astronomy – gravitational waves. This space-borne Gravitational Wave Observatory will have an arm-length of 2.5 million km, compared to the few km’s of the ground-based observatories. LISA will observe the entire universe and discover parts that are invisible by other means. It will enhance our knowledge about the beginning, evolution and structure of our universe. LISA will complement earth-bound gravitational wave and other astronomical observatories, and significantly enrich multi-messenger astronomy. The LISA Consortium is a large international collaboration that combines the resource...

Description
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a large-scale space mission designed to detect one of the most elusive phenomena in astronomy – gravitational waves. This space-borne Gravitational Wave Observatory will have an arm-length of 2.5 million km, compared to the few km’s of the ground-based observatories.
LISA will observe the entire universe and discover parts that are invisible by other means. It will enhance our knowledge about the beginning, evolution and structure of our universe. LISA will complement earth-bound gravitational wave and other astronomical observatories, and significantly enrich multi-messenger astronomy.
The LISA Consortium is a large international collaboration that combines the resources and expertise from scientists in many countries all over the world. Together with ESA, its member states, and NASA, the LISA Consortium is working to bring the LISA Mission to fruition.
