The first space observatory to detect gravitational waves is sent by NASA

NASA, in cooperation with the European Space Agency, plans to launch the first space observatory with the aim of detecting gravitational waves.

According to Tekna's technology and technology news service, recently NASA was able to receive more approvals for the LISA laser interferometer space antenna mission. The space agency is looking to build its own flight hardware that can take steps towards discovering the secrets of the universe.

Gravitational waves were already predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. These waves in the space-time have a texture before the detection of gravitational waves due to the merger of two black holes by the Laico Earth Observatory created a new window of this cosmic phenomenon. The Lisa mission will be carried out in the mid-2030s, and NASA plans to move the recent discoveries to a new stage. In this mission, a panoramic view of the expanding gravitational waves in the vastness of the universe is to be prepared.

Mark Clampin, director of the astrophysics division at NASA, says in this regard: This mission is like being able to observe a wide range of sources in our own galaxy and beyond. It is supposed to provide a capability that can be used to open a way to discover the secrets of the world.

The European Space Agency is responsible for providing the Lissa spacecraft and monitoring it during various operations. NASA scientist Ira Thorpe said about its importance in this mission: This telescope is supposed to increase our understanding of tens of thousands of small binary systems in the Milky Way. Also, the huge black holes that merged in the collision of galaxies in the early universe will be visible.

With its triangular appearance, the telescope will consist of three spacecraft, located 1.6 million miles apart, that will be able to study test masses that are under the influence of gravity. Measurement of detected masses is done by continuous laser firing. The spacecraft will measure their distance in a gap the size of a helium atom.
