Figure 1. Taiji-3 constellation. Taiji-3 consists of 3 identical satellites which form a gigantic equilateral triangle. Each of the satellites takes an Earth-like heliocentric orbit. The constellation will be leading or trailing Earth for about 18°. Taiji-3 has the ability to detect the GW from intermediate or supermassive black hole mergers
