AUBURN, Mass., May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PI, a global leader in nanopositioning and motion control, continues to contribute to space exploration advancement as PI 6-DOF hexapods deliver the precision required by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) project. LISA is a space-based gravitational wave observatory, that will detect cosmic undulations from black holes with much greater resolution than the much smaller earth-bound systems are capable of. The interferometer, based on three spacecraft, 2.5 million kilometers apart, is constructed of the highest accuracy components, including optical components precisely aligned with the help of the hexapod.
Key Points:
- 6-axis nanopositioning system assembly provides the ultra high precision required to mount and align optical components to be launched into space, new from PI.
