Abstract

A new concept for a space-based, interferometric gravitational wave detector is envisaged called FINEST targeted at observing medium-frequency gravitational waves (10^-1 to 10³ Hz). Established technologies that have been developed for ground-based detectors along with those being developed for space-based detectors are utilised. The result is a space-based, Michelson-interferometer with an arm length of 50 km unrestricted by the problem of seismic noise. The scientific motivation for the instrument, a detailed description of the design, and its expected sensitivity are shown.
