The Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics is developing technology and techniques for inter-spacecraft laser interferometry. This is the fundamental measurement relied upon for missions like the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a space-based gravitational waves detector, and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) series of missions, to detect water move on Earth over months and years.
