TL;DR: The PLATO 2.0 instrument consists of 34 small aperture telescopes (32 with 25 sec readout cadence and 2 with 2.5 sec candence) providing a wide field-of-view (2232 deg2) and a large photometric magnitude range (4-16 mag) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The PLATO 2.0 mission as discussed by the authors has been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24) to provide accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers.

TL;DR: The LISA Consortium as mentioned in this paper proposed a 4-year mission in response to ESA's call for missions for L3, which is an all-sky monitor and will offer a wide view of a dynamic cosmos using Gravitational Waves as new and unique messengers to unveil The Gravitational Universe.

TL;DR: In this article, a special focus is set on evaluating the frequency band below 10 Hz where a complex mixture of seismic, gravity gradient, suspension thermal and radiation pressure noise dominates, including the most relevant fundamental noise contributions.

TL;DR: The New Gravitational-Wave Observatory (NGO) as discussed by the authors, a mission under study by the European Space Agency for launch in the early 2020s, will survey the low-frequency gravitational wave sky (from 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz), detecting and characterizing a broad variety of systems and events throughout the Universe, including the coalescences of massive black holes brought together by galaxy mergers, the inspirals of stellar-mass black holes and compact stars into central galactic black holes; several millions of ultra-compact binaries, both detached and mass transferring, in
