Current operating facilities in the global network include the twin LIGO detectors—in Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana—and GEO600 in Germany. The Virgo detector in Italy and the Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA) in Japan are undergoing upgrades and are expected to begin operations in 2016 and 2018, respectively. A sixth observatory is being planned in India. Having more gravitational-wave observatories around the globe helps scientists pin down the locations and sources of gravitational waves coming from space  Efforts?are?under?way?to?enhance?significantly?the?global?gravitational_wave?detector?network?[117].?These?include?further?commissioning?of?the?Advanced?LIGO?detectors?to?reach?design?sensitivity,?which?will?allow?detection?of?binaries?like?GW150914?with?3?times?higher?SNR.?Additionally,?Advanced?Virgo,?KAGRA,?and?a?possible?third?LIGO?detector?in?India?[118]?will?extend?the?network?and?significantly?improve?the?position?reconstruction?and?parameter?estimation?of?sources. Virgo位于意大利的比萨，主要参与单位是法国科学研究中心和意大利核能物理研究所，该实验装置有法国和意大利共同出资建设。目前Virgo正在更新换代更新，期望达到LIGO实验装置的灵敏度。预计2016年可以全面运营。 Virgo 2016-2020年计划 Virgo的一些技术 GEO600位于德国的汉诺威，由德国的普朗克研究所和英国格拉斯哥大学支持修建。 TAMA300,位于日本三鹰市，主要参与单位是：国立天文台，宇宙研究所 Japan is currently building a 3 km interferometer inside of the Kamioka（日本神冈） mine (this mine is also home to other experiments like the Super Kamiokande neutrino detector). Being underground, the detector will be exposed to much less seismic vibration than a surface instrument. KAGRA will also be cryogenic, meaning that the optics will be cooled so much that molecular vibrations within the material itself will be brought almost to a stop (the key to detecting gravitational waves is to isolate the detector from any and all Earth-caused vibrations that might mimic or mask a gravitational wave vibration). Full-scale operation of this observatory is expected to commence later in this decade. KAGRA的建造历史 激光干涉空间天线（Laser Interferometer Space Antenna，LISA）是
