Thanks. My google searches only found proposed
missions, not any real ones.


You are welcome.

I had two google sessions open. One used "michelson
interferometer satellite", and as I found missions I'd add the
"-COBE", "-FIRAS", etc. to the search phrase to bring new ones to
the top.

In the second window, I would bring a promising "candidate" from
the first session and use that name and add "launch"... within a
couple of screens I could have whether the launch was successful
or not.

I noticed the Japanese are planning a really extensive
satellite-based interferometer experiment (size 1+km) looking for
GR effects, but it doesn't launch for more than 10 years.
Thermal effects will be really problematic.

Good luck and good hunting.
