This will include developing robust methods for data analysis and simulation, extracting gravitational-wave signals from the data and understanding their properties, all of which will be essential to maximising the scientific return of the mission. The University of Birmingham will be leading the UK contribution to the LISA Science Ground Segment in collaboration with the University of Glasgow, the University of Portsmouth, the University of Southampton, and the University of Cambridge. The UK has a major involvement in the LISA mission, with significant contributions to the instrument hardware and the on-ground data processing and analysis, supported by funding from the UK Space Agency (UKSA), which has agreed participation in the mission in principle. Today, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Science Programme Committee (SPC) has given the green light for LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna to progress to the construction phase. The University of Birmingham will collaborate on the development of the first gravitational-wave observatory in space, which may go into orbit in mid-2030.
