Funded Activity Summary
Technologies for space-based optical interferometry. Gravitational waves are ripples in the curvature of space-time produced by the motion of massive celestial objects. Gravitational waves provide a different kind of information about the universe and their measurement will lead to an entirely new type of astronomy. The quest to detect gravitational waves is entering a new era with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) now under development. LISA is a two billion dollar joint NASA/ESA deep space mission to build a gravitational wave observatory in space. This research will develop Australian technologies critical to the success of LISA and other future deep space missions.Funded Activity Details
