天气是Millihertz频率中引力波太空探测器的建议。该实验依赖于绕地球绕的三个Dragfree航天器组成的星座。飞机间激光干涉法用于监测测试质量之间的距离。该实验旨在能够在观察时间的几个月内从单个引力波来源中以高度置信度检测信号。我们描述了天气的初步任务概念，包括候选人来源和实验设计。我们介绍了实验错误预算的主要组成部分的估计，并讨论了项目的总体可行性。鉴于当前的技术准备水平，我们希望天气在未来十年的下半年被飞行。
TianQin is a proposal for a space-borne detector of gravitational waves in the millihertz frequencies. The experiment relies on a constellation of three dragfree spacecraft orbiting the Earth. Inter-spacecraft laser interferometry is used to monitor the distances between the test masses. The experiment is designed to be capable of detecting a signal with high confidence from a single source of gravitational waves within a few months of observing time. We describe the preliminary mission concept for TianQin, including the candidate source and experimental designs. We present estimates for the major constituents of the experiment's error budget and discuss the project's overall feasibility. Given the current level of technological readiness, we expect TianQin to be flown in the second half of the next decade.
