The detection has the highest sensitivity when the gravitational wave detector arm length is close to the gravitational wave wavelength. In order to detect gravitational waves in the millihertz range, gravitational wave detectors are typically designed with arm lengths up to hundreds of thousands of kilometers or even millions of kilometers. Because of the limitations of the geographic environment of the earth, gravitational wave detectors often need to be deployed in space for operation, known as space gravitational wave detectors. Spatial gravitational wave detection is to measure the change in distance between inertial references by laser interferometry, thereby detecting gravitational wave signals.
