"NASA's LISA Mission: Hunting Ripples in Spacetime from Space"

The European Space Agency plans to launch the first space-based gravitational wave detector, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, in 2035. This mission will allow for the detection of gravitational waves at much greater distances than previously possible, potentially uncovering events from the dawn of time. The spacecraft will detect gravitational waves with wavelengths between 186,400 miles and 1.86 billion miles, using a floating cube of gold and platinum to register the slight movements caused by the waves. This groundbreaking mission is expected to be a game-changer in the field of space exploration and our understanding of the universe.
