Some of the most interesting gravitational-wave signals, resulting from the mergers of supermassive black
holes in the range 103 to and cosmological stochastic backgrounds, will lie in the
frequency region below that of ground-based detectors. The most promising way of looking
for such signals is to fly a laser interferometer in space, i.e. to launch a number of drag-free
spacecraft into orbit and to compare the distances between test masses in these craft using laser
interferometry.
