Re:LIGO's vibration isolation system by jessriedel on Thursday February 11, 2016 @10:16PM (#11085067)
LISA and LIGO aren't in competition. They are very different projects trying to be sensitive to very different frequencies. (Likewise, Hubble isn't competing with ground-based arrays of radar antenna even though both are looking for electromagnetic waves.)

Furthermore, the only satellite currently in orbit is the LISA pathfinder mission, which is just a testbed for some of the requisite tech. It is incapable of detecting gravitational waves.
