- This federal contract award to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research supports the development of advanced simulation tools for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. LISA aims to detect and observe gravitational waves from various astrophysical sources using a constellation of three spacecraft separated by 2.5 million km. The $576,654.63 grant will contribute to three key areas: simulating the drag-free and attitude control system that governs the...
- The University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $1.24 million grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support testing and verification of prototypes for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. LISA is a NASA-supported European Space Agency-led space-based gravitational wave observatory planned for launch in the mid-2020s. Under the grant, the University of Florida will verify the dimensional stability of LISA telescope structural...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $629,755.90 grant to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research to support research and development for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) project.
