ROSES-22: D.15 LISA Preparatory Science Mandatory NOIs Now Due January 20, 2023
The LISA Preparatory Science (LPS) program solicits proposals from U.S. investigators to conduct activities that contribute to furthering the eventual science yield of the ESA-led Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave observatory planned for launch in the early 2030s. It is not intended as a vehicle for funding specific U.S. contributions to the LISA instrument or science ground segment, or to develop concepts for other missions outside of LISA.
