The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna , or LISA , could revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
In 2016 , the LIGO -Virgo-KAGRA detector network has made over 100 gravitational wave detections.
LISA was in the works years before those detections were announced, but the mission was given the formal go-ahead in January .
LISA will be in an Earth -like orbit around the Sun , spinning behind Earth .
Each of the three spacecraft is in a similar orbit, but they’re all shifted behind the Earth .
LISA ’s laser-beamed arms will each measure 1.55 million miles ( 2.5 million kilometers ) in length.
Unlike LIGO , with LISA , LISA won’t have to deal with the limitations of being on Earth .
LISA will be able to detect gravitational wave sources that Earth -based interferometers simply cannot.
Teams at ESA and NASA are building the actual hardware that will be sent to space.
LISA is a $1.6 billion project decades in the making.
