LISA is a joint ESA/NASA mission to detect and observe gravitational waves in space in a frequency range inaccesible to ground based detectors. It will allow to study numerous sources for low-frequency graviational waves, such as coalescing supermassive black holes, galactic binary systems and signals from capture events of compact objects by massive black holes. An overview of the science of LISA, the astrophysical and cosmological aspects of the sources and the gravitational wave signals will be given.
