To the point:

  • Progress for LISA: The gravitational-wave observatory is an ESA mission with the participation of NASA. It is scheduled for launch in 2035 and will gather entirely new information about the Universe.
  • Key instrument: The phasemeter is the key instrument for LISA’s gravitational-wave observations. It was developed at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics
  • Contract signed: The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics and OHB Systems AG have signed a contract for the further development and production of the LISA phasemeter.
