LISA Pathfinder is situated a million miles from Earth, but there’s still the possibility that radio waves from the spacecraft could interfere with other satellite communications and radio ...

The LISA Pathfinder at IABG's space test center in Ottobrunn, near Munich, Germany, on August 31. It will soon move to its launch site in French Guiana.

LISA Pathfinder is expected to reach its operational orbit about 10 weeks after launch, in mid-February. After final checks, it will begin its six-month scientific mission at the beginning of March.

The Lisa Pathfinder spacecraft (pictured above before being placed inside its assemblage faring) will be kept stationary in orbit more than 900,000 miles from Earth.

Lisa Pathfinder is a fundamental physics experiment that will test the technology needed to detect gravitational waves - what are sometimes referred to as ripples in the curvature of space-time.

LISA Pathfinder, the proof-of-concept mission for a new way to detect gravitational waves, has performed five times better than scientists hoped for. The European Space Agency launched LISA ...

Using Floating Gold and Platinum Cubes, Scientists Pave Way for LISA to See Gravitational Waves from Space Published Jun 07, 2016 at 1:26 PM EDT Updated Jun 18, 2016 at 12:16 AM EDT ...

On Jan. 22, LISA Pathfinder reached its destination in space, a gravitationally stable spot known as Lagrange Point 1, which lies about 930,000 miles (1.5 million km) from Earth, ...

LISA Pathfinder was launched on Dec. 3, 2015, and began orbiting a point called Earth-sun L1, roughly 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth in the sun's direction, in late January 2016.

At the core of ESA's LISA Pathfinder mission sit two small hearts. Each is a cube, just five centimetres across. Together they will allow LISA Pathfinder to lay the foundations for future space ...

LISA Pathfinder, built by engineers at Airbus Defence and Space, is due to be launched into an orbit around 900,000 miles (1.5 million km) from Earth in an area known as the Sun-Earth Lagrange point.
