Astrophysicists propose new space observatory to detect gravitational waves

2. Wow - This isn't just LISA, but a giant step up from it.

LISA would be a space based detector made of 3 satellites in formation that's being planned as the next step after the LIGO ground based detectors. It's in the works and has had some very successful proof of concept tests done.

This proposal, LISAmax, would put LISA like satellites at the 3 Sun-Earth Lagrange points in Earth's orbit, so one at the point opposite of the Earth in it's orbit, and the other two at points that would make an equilateral triangle inscribed in Earths orbit.

That is one hecking big interferometer!
