LISA Pathfinder, Gravitational Wave Detection

Artist's impression of LISA Pathfinder. LISA Pathfinder is an ESA spacecraft that was launched on December 3, 2015. LISA Pathfinder will test in flight the concept of low-frequency gravitational wave detection: it will put two test masses in a near-perfect gravitational free-fall, and control and measure their motion with unprecedented accuracy. To do this it will use inertial sensors, a laser metrology system, a drag-free control system and an ultra-precise micro-propulsion system. Release date November 14, 2015.
