Airbus: contract with ESA
(CercleFinance.com) - Airbus announced today that it has been awarded a contract by the European Space Agency (ESA) to further develop the implementation of LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna), a scientific mission to study gravitational waves.
With phase B1 underway, the detailed mission design and final technology development activities for the gravitational wave observatory are expected to be completed by 2024, with launch planned for the late 2030s.
To measure gravitational waves, LISA consists of three satellites flying in 'formation', forming an equilateral triangle in deep space, 2.5 million kilometres apart.
