- NASA describes the Engineering Test Unit as a final step toward producing flight hardware.
- The mission is slated to launch in the mid-2030s, according to NASA.
The telescope is part of NASA’s contribution to a mission designed to detect low-frequency gravitational waves.
L3Harris will work on the Engineering Test Unit; NASA’s announcement does not give a completion date.
A little more context
NASA says it is advancing development of an all-glass telescope for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna mission. It says L3Harris Technologies will design, assemble and integrate the Engineering Test Unit, a step toward future flight hardware. The European Space Agency leads the mission, which NASA says is slated to launch in the mid-2030s. The mission plan calls for three spacecraft in an Earth-following orbit, with telescopes using infrared laser beams to measure changes in their separation.
