Texas A&M Astrophysicist Krista Smith named to ESA-NASA Science Team - EurekAlert


The LISA mission was recently adopted into ESA’s flight program and is targeted for launch in 2035. The ambitious space-based gravitational wave observatory will detect gravitational waves in space using lasers fired between three spacecraft, separated by more than a million miles and flying in a triangular formation, to measure how gravitational waves alter their relative distances. During its 4.5 year nominal mission, LISA will observe gravitational waves in the millihertz band as generated by compact binary systems, merging supermassive black holes and other exotic phenomena.
