This Lisa-Pathfinder-2009 is part of Europe's 'SmallMissions-for-Advanced ResearchTechnology' , there are other gravitational wave telescopes already in operation on Earth, but their science is limited by practical arm interference from moving masses on the planet e.g., ships, logging operations, aircraft and highway traffic around the telescope interfere with the results and produce gravational noise .ESA's mission Lisa-Pathfinder-2009 will test out tech needed for NASA's future mission 'LISA- 2015'

Status for NASA's 2015-LISA is uncertain, the recent NASA budegt caused the mission to be "delayed indefinitely".
