The planning phase for the innovative space observatory LISA was completed successfully. This marks the start of the implementation phase of a large-scale international project that includes 3 research groups at Universität Hamburg. The Cluster of Excellence Quantum Universe is a core research area in astroand particle physics at Universität Hamburg. The LISA space observatory is a giant project of the European Space Agency (ESA) in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the USA. Starting in the mid-2030s, the researchers will set out to detect gravitational waves at previously unresearched frequencies from 0.1 millihertz to one hertz with an innovative measurement device.
