LISA Pathfinder
First steps to observing gravitational waves from space


Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted the existence of ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, but so far no experiment has been able to detect them directly. Space offers many advantages in this search, and ESA's LISA Pathfinder mission is a technology demonstrator that will pave the way for future spaceborne gravitational-wave observatories by testing the necessary instrumentation for the first time in that environment. This ESA Brochure (BR-323) serves as an introduction to the LISA Pathfinder mission.

 

 

Seeing the Universe through gravitational waves.
(From ESA Bulletin 162)
ESA's LISA Pathfinder will help to open up a completely new observational window into the 'gravitational Universe', proving new technologies needed to measure gravitational waves in space. This article explains how.
