A two-day meeting will be held at IISER Kolkata to develop a planning document for the Indian deci-Hz gravitational wave space mission. During this meeting, we will discuss key scientific goals, technological challenges, and strategies to achieve these objectives. The Deci-Hz GW mission is among the future space science projects proposed by the community for ISRO’s long-term space science vision (by working group SG-2: Gravitation and Cosmology of the Space Science Roadmap Formulation initiated by URSC/ISRO). It is also regarded as a step forward beyond LIGO-India.
