Thales Alenia Space has signed a €263 million contract with prime contractor OHB System AG for the development of key elements for ESA’s Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. LISA will be the first space-based observatory dedicated to studying gravitational waves.
LISA: a future constellation of three satellites spaced 2.5 million kilometers apart.
LISA will detect gravitational waves, ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity generated by massive accelerating objects, with a sensitivity and in a frequency range that cannot be measured from the ground.
Thales: contract for a space study mission
Thales Alenia Space has signed a €263m contract with prime contractor OHB System AG for the development of key components for ESA’s LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) mission. The company will also be responsible for ensuring the exceptional operational environment of the payload.
Consisting of three satellites, this mission will study gravitational waves generated by numerous celestial phenomena and extend the cosmic horizon to the era before the formation of stars and galaxies.
Thales Alenia Space will supply several key elements of the mission, including the avionics and satellite control software, the telecommunications system and the DFACS attitude control and drag compensation system.
The company will also be responsible for ensuring the exceptional operational environment of the payload in terms of electromagnetics, radiation, and the mission’s own gravity, for which it also manages the budgets.
