The LISA mission is a concept for a future space-based gravitational-wave observatory now being developed. It consists of three spacecraft separated by millions of miles flying in a triangular formation that trails behind Earth as we orbit the sun. Each spacecraft transmits and receives laser beams linking it to the others, and these signals are \[…\]
