DECi-hertz干涉仪引力波天文台（DECIGO）是日本未来的空间引力波天线。它的目标是足够频繁地探测1 mHz到100 Hz之间的各种引力波，为引力波天文学打开一个新的观测窗口。DECIGO的预概念设计由三颗无阻力卫星组成，彼此相距1000公里，其相对位移由法布里-珀罗迈克尔逊干涉仪测量。经过漫长而紧张的开发阶段，我们计划于2024年推出DECIGO，其中包括两项用于验证所需技术的探路者任务。
DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO) is the future Japanese space gravitational wave antenna. It aims at detecting various kinds of gravitational waves between 1 mHz and 100 Hz frequently enough to open a new window of observation for gravitational wave astronomy. The preconceptual design of DECIGO consists of three drag-free satellites, 1000 km apart from each other, whose relative displacements are measured by a Fabry-Perot Michelson interferometer. We plan to launch DECIGO in 2024 after a long and intense development phase, including two pathfinder missions for verification of required technologies.
