Happy 10th launch anniversary, LISA Pathfinder! 🥳
For the first time ever, this mission tested in space the technology needed to detect gravitational waves, which paved the way to LISA 🤜 🤛
Planned to launch in 2035, LISA will be first gravitational wave detector in space 👉 esa.int/lisa

Relive the Moment: LISA Pathfinder has launched! 🚀🛰️
At 04:04UTC on the 3rd December, LISA Pathfinder successfully launched on top of a VEGA launcher.
The rockets first three stages burned for ~7minutes, followed by a nine minute burn for the rockets upper stage.

We think this is a great occasion to show you the first images of the new LISA Spacecraft. The ESA led mission is now in the co-engineering phase. The instrument of LISA, provided by national space agencies across Europe and beyond, will be integrated by the primary contractor OHB SE.

10 years ago, the first gravitational wave #GW150914 was detected by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration. This was a significant step to confirm LISA as a flagship mission, and we as a community are profoundly grateful for the decades of research effort that made the discovery reality.
