LISA Newsletter

The new LISA Consortium Newsletter – designed to keep our community informed, connected, and engaged as LISA advances toward flight.

March 03, 2026

This month we are launching the first issue of the LISA Consortium Newsletter, ten years after the first direct observation of gravitational waves was announced by the LIGO and VIRGO collaborations, and, almost to the day, ten years after the LISA Pathfinder team successfully released both cubic gold–platinum test masses inside the satellite.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• The 10^th anniversary of the launch of the LISA Pathfinder (LPF) mission
• Consortium News
• Events – upcoming gatherings, along with selected events across our broader community.
• Humans of LISA – highlighting the people driving LISA forward.
• Jobs & Opportunities – current openings across partner institutions for scientists and engineers working on LISA and gravitational‑wave astronomy.
• New Publications & PhD Theses – community research spotlights
• How‑tos & Who‑tos – practical guides and pointers (rolling additions).
• LISA Comic Strip – a bit of science art to round things out.

You’re invited to contribute. This newsletter thrives on community input. Share news of your papers via #LISAPapers, propose a profile for #HumansOfLISA, or send topic ideas, images, and announcements to the editorial team. You can also help shape future issues: volunteer as a contributor, section editor, or reviewer by emailing us at newsletter-team@lisamission.org.
