Gravity probe proves its technology
BBC News  18 February 2017 Last updated at 17:21 GMT






The long-planned LISA space mission to detect gravitational waves looks as though it will be green lit shortly.

Scientists working on a demonstration of its key measurement technologies say they have just beaten the sensitivity performance that will be required.

The European Space Agency's (Esa) LISA Pathfinder probe has been trialling parts of the laser interferometer that will eventually be used to detect passing gravitational waves on the LISA mission proper.

Pathfinder's principal investigator Prof Stefano Vitale discussed the success of the demonstration and its significance with our science correspondent Jonathan Amos.

Now it's day and night the irons clang, and like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die, must fill dishonored graves
But some dark night, when everything is silent in the town
I'll shoot those tyrants one and all, I'll gun the flogger down
I'll give the land a little shock, remember what I say,
And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay.
~'Jim Jones', Traditional
