Les ondes gravitationnelles : de la théorie à la réalité

07-08-2017 08:00 AM CEST


Il y a quelques semaines de cela, LISA Pathfinder a été définitivement arrêté. Le programme a validé avec succès la technologie nécessaire pour LISA, le futur projet de l'ESA qui doit observer dans l'univers les fameuses ondes gravitationnelles et auquel la Belgique est partie prenante.

Tschüss LISA Pathfinder, hallo LISA!

20-07-2017 04:07 PM CEST


Nachdem schon die wissenschaftlichen Experimente alle Erwartungen übertroffen haben, hat LISA Pathfinder auch letzte Hardware Tests erfolgreich bestanden. Am 18. Juli schaltete das Team im Satellitenkontrollzentrum ESOC in Darmstadt die Sonde endgültig ab. Es ist das Ende der wegbereitenden Mission, die Gravitationswellen vom Weltraum aus erforscht und zugleich Start der künftigen LISA Mission der ESA.

LISA Pathfinder paves the way for the gravitational-wave observatory LISA

DLR German Aerospace Center

The end forms a new beginning - LISA Pathfinder paves the way for the gravitational-wave observatory LISA


The last command to LISA Pathfinder was sent at around 8:00 pm Central European Time on 18 July 2017, after 16 months of scientific operation, marking the end of a sophisticated technology demonstration in space. The Space Administration at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and the Max Planck Society funded the German contribution to this European Space Agency (ESA) mission. Paving the way for laser interferometry in space and the detection of gravitational-wave, LISA Pathfinder clearly pushed the boundaries of technical feasibility and took an important step toward the planned gravitational-wave observatory LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna). LISA will be designed to 'observe' infinitesimal spacetime ripples – known as gravitational-wave – and hence track down the most energy-rich and powerful astrophysical events in our universe. From 2034, LISA will measure these occurrences using laser interferometry between three satellites, each located at around 2.5 million kilometres from the other two, forming a triangle in space. So far, LISA has only been a mission concept, but now it has been selected by ESA's Science Programme Committee (SPC) as the third large mission (L3) as part of its Cosmic Vision Programme.

Last command

18-07-2017 01:28 PM CEST


At 19:57 CEST today, LISA Pathfinder principal investigator Stefano Vitale sent the final command to the spacecraft, permanently shutting it down after having successfully demonstrated the technology to build ESA's future space observatory for gravitational waves

LISA Pathfinder abre o caminho para a busca de ondas gravitacionais

13-07-2017 03:56 PM CEST


Existem outras maneiras de explorar o universo para além do que os nossos olhos podem ver, ou o que podem detetar os observatórios que operam no espaço. Os cientistas sabem que as ondas gravitacionais são a chave para alguns dos enigmas do cosmos, mas até agora, não foram capazes de passar da teoria à prática.

Hay otras maneras de explorar el Universo más allá de lo que pueden ver nuestros ojos, o lo que pueden detectar los observatorios que operan en el espacio. Los científicos saben que las ondas gravitacionales tienen la llave de algunos de los enigmas del Cosmos, pero hasta ahora, no han podido saltar del plano teórico al práctico.

LISA Pathfinder: bake, rattle and roll

13-07-2017 04:24 PM CEST


The final days of the LISA Pathfinder mission are some of the busiest, as controllers make final tests and get ready to switch off the gravitational pioneer next Tuesday.
