NASA and ESA Secure a Key LISA Telescope Contract as Space-Based Gravitational-Wave Science Advances

NASA and the European Space Agency have taken another concrete step toward the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, or LISA, after awarding a contract to L3Harris to build a critical telescope for the mission. The move underscores continued U.S. participation in a flagship European-led effort to detect low-frequency gravitational waves from space, even as NASA’s budget priorities face pressure at home.
