The Union Cabinet has approved to set up a gravitational wave detection facility in Maharashtra.
About:
Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO)-A ?2,600 crore project, is one that will consist of a detector called the Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO), to be built in the image of the twin LIGO instruments already operational in the U.S.
LIGOIndia-A third detector is being built in India as part of the LIGOIndia collaboration in order to improve the detectors’ collective ability to pinpoint sources of gravitational waves in the sky.
Requirement for successful implementation- The starting requirement here is the timely release of funds for construction, followed by issuing the allocated resources without delay.
