It's extremely exciting, says Valeriya Korol, an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching, Germany, and a member of the LISA Consortium. It will open a window to gravitational-wave sources that only LISA can see.
The mission has been a long time in the making. The first time I wrote a proposal for LISA was 31 years ago, says Karsten Danzmann, an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Hanover, Germany, who leads the LISA Consortium. People thought it was ridiculous.
