Support for the development of the FSUA piezo mechanism for the satellite, which is being developed by a consortium of several institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

The LISA satellite is a forthcoming project of the European Space Agency and is intended to serve as a gravitational wave detector. The three satellites form a triangle with an edge of 2.5 million kilometres. Using laser interferometry, they accurately measure their distance to each other, which changes when a gravitational wave passes through.

The FSUA mechanism is used to switch between primary and redundant laser beams. Basically, it is a precise rotary table that rotates the optical element. It is used in vacuum, is non-magnetic and has a lifetime of at least 11 years.

The subject of the contract is the preparation of 3D models, the transformation of 3D data and the preparation of possible drawings for concepts prepared by the FZU scientists.
