The Gravitational Reference System (GRS) acts as the heart of the LISA mission, using free-falling test masses to detect gravitational waves in the mHz frequency range. This design emphasizes the opto-mechanical integration of the test mass as an interferometer mirror, focusing on extreme stability and low acceleration noise. The work details the current engineering status, building on the flight heritage of the LISA Pathfinder mission.
