LISA orbit

Oliver Jennrich (European Space Agency) has prepared a large review on technical aspects of LISA (space laser interferometer) mission – the project is extremely complicated for realization, many technologies are not even yet fully developed, and various prototypes will have to be launched. Yet, possible payout is so huge – even including possible detection of gravitational waves from the very early Universe – from inflationary and reheating stages (just think about it – detecting EM radiation did not really allow us to go beyond redshift z\sim{}8 so far, not including here CMB of course). Who is a sucker for space research as I am – please check out the paper. It does not discuss science related to the mission but contains tons of technical information about LISA you won’t find anywhere else.
