German space revolution: LISA mission starts in 2035 for universe research!
In 2035, the ESA mission Lisa will start researching gravitational waves with three innovative spacecraft.
German space revolution: LISA mission starts in 2035 for universe research!
In a sensational step in space technology, Bremer OHB System AG and the European Space Agency ESA have sealed their agreement on the Lisa-Mission strikes. From the spring of 2035, three probes are to be sent into space to test Einstein's theory of relativity and to reveal the secrets of the universe. The project has a total budget of a proud 839 million euros.
What exactly is the LISA mission? It consists of a state -of -the -art room observatory that captures gravitational waves. These waves distort space-time and change the distances between specially developed test masses, which do not exceed the size of a Rubik’s Cube and are made from gold platinum alloy. The space probes, which are arranged in the form of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 2.5 million kilometers, will be able to measure extremely low frequencies that cannot be recorded from the earth, such as OHB reported.
scientific goals and international cooperation
The mission aims to better understand the nature of gravity and make cosmic events visible. Research on gravitational wave astronomy has already made remarkable progress. Almost 100 gravitational wave signals have been proven, which underlines the success of the previous work. Innovative technologies and precise measurement methods, which were developed on aei in Hanover, to further improve the sensitivity of the measuring instruments for future detectors.
The consortium that leads the LISA mission includes NASA and an international team of scientists in addition to the ESA. The cooperation extends to numerous countries, from Italy and Switzerland to Germany, the United Kingdom and many more. This diverse cooperation not only encloses the development of the hardware elements, but also the use of laser interior ferometry for the exact recording of spacer changes in the billionth-millimeter range.
A look into the future
With the planned start of the Lisa room probes in mid-2035, science is facing exciting knowledge. The mission has the potential to answer basic questions about the universe and to examine the gravitational phenomena that challenge our understanding of physics. The starting signal for this ambitious project was officially received on the Paris Airshow on June 17, 2025, where those responsible ceremoniously notice the start of the LISA mission.
The groundbreaking work of OHB and its partners could not only provide answers to existing questions, but also open the paths to new discoveries. The space travel has reached another milestone with this mission - and the world should look out for.
