NASA LISA Project Office
The NASA LISA Project Office at GSFC coordinates U.S. participation in the ESA-NASA LISA mission. Activities include participating in mission and requirements definition, developing technologies and data analysis infrastructure, and laying the groundwork for future participation in LISA by the U.S. science community.
