Gravitational spacecraft LISA Pathfinder opens Einstein’s universe
by Stuart Clark from on (#1GDPT)
The European Space Agency's technology-testing mission LISA Pathfinder is working five times better than its design specification, opening Einstein's gravitational universe for investigation from space
It has taken just two months of space-based experimentation for scientists and engineers to know that the European Space Agency's technology testing mission LISA Pathfinder is far exceeding its design requirements.
The results mean that Europe could now begin building a mission to detect gravitational waves from space.
