Description
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will be the first space mission ever to survey the Universe by detecting low-frequency gravitational waves. LISA is a space mission led by the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It was selected by ESA in 2017 and adopted in January 2024, which means it enters implementation with an expected launch in 2035. The science of LISA is very broad and revolutionary, covering outstanding questions in Astrophysics, Cosmology and Fundamental Physics. I will briefly describe the main features of the LISA mission and the different opportunities for contributing to this exciting mission.
