Three spacecraft form an equilateral triangle with sides of 5 million km in length. The plane of this triangle is tilted by 60 ◦ out of the ecliptic. The center of this triangle moves around the Sun in an Earth-like orbit, about 20 ◦ behind the Earth. The spacecraft each house a Y-shaped payload, with the two telescopes aligned (60 ◦ from another) towards the other spacecraft. A full Y at one corner, together with one Y branch each from the other spacecraft, form one of up to three Michelson-type interferometers, operated with infrared laser beams. The drawing is not to scale, the diameters of the celestial bodies as well as that of the LISA interferometer are blown up by more than an order of magnitude.
