It is with great sorrow that we have learnt that Pete Bender, at the age of 93, passed away last Saturday, 22 April 2024.
LISA, as we know it today, has for a large part its origin in Pete’s creativity, deep physical insight and intellectual rigor.
It is a small consolation that he could witness the final approval of the mission by the European Space Agency last January.
Pete has been a guide and a model for many of us in the LISA community, and his legacy and example will continue to drive our effort toward the success of the LISA mission.
