In a June 7 2016 article (http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/aerospace/satellites/esa-grav-wave)at the Institute of Electrical & Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) Spectrum magazine web site, Rachel Courtland
reports on LISA Pathfinder, a spacecraft launched late last year, which
has successfully tested technologies for a full-blown Laser Interferometer
Space Antenna (LISA) space-based gravitational wave observatory.
