LISA is practically always described as a gigametre-scale observatory. One example: &quot;LISA, a gigameter-scale space-based gravitational wave observatory, will explore the gravitational wave universe in the band from below 0.1 mHz to above 0.1 Hz.&quot; &lt;https://about.cern/news/announcement/physics/cern-colloquium...&gt;, and a trawl through arxiv will show a common association of Gm and LISA. Assuming LISA is successfully deployed, gigametre may be seen…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1303.5961/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
