LISA Newsletter

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

August 31, 2026

Thank you to everyone who read, shared, contributed to, and supported this initiative. The newsletter is growing together with the Consortium, and we are motivated to continue building it as a space for information, connection, and community exchange. In this issue, our Focus Topic, “LISA Community in Motion: Science, Data, and Ideas,” highlights the many ways in which the LISA community is preparing for the mission’s next steps.

You will also find, as usual, news, events, features, publications & PhDs, jobs & opportunities, and the entertaining LISA Comic Strip.

This issue also introduces a new section: Fundamental Questions about LISA. The aim is to answer clear, curious questions about the mission. We hope this section will be useful for students, early-career researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the mission in an accessible way.

As always, this newsletter depends on contributions from the community. You are warmly invited to share news, events, publications, PhD theses, opportunities, images, profiles, questions, and ideas for future issues. You can 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.

Looking ahead to the next season of activities across the Consortium, we hope you enjoy reading this issue and discovering the latest developments from our community.
