New Gravitational Wave Observatory
(NGO, eLISA)
(past proposal for space mission to detect gravitational waves)
The New Gravitational Wave Observatory (NGO or eLISA) was
a proposed European Space Agency space gravitational-wave detector to detect gravitational waves
by measuring the distance between three spacecraft
using laser interferometry.
It was a 2011 scaled-down variation on the LISA proposal.
NGO was ultimately not selected by the ESA and since then,
the LISA concept has been revived, aiming for further in the
future (2030s).
