The space gravitational wave (GW) antennae is more sensitive to the lower frequency GW signals compare with the ground-based GW detectors. The space mission Taiji is designed to detect the GW sources within frequencies between 0.1 mHz and 1 Hz. A preliminary study of Taiji was started in 2008. Up to now, a sophisticated mission design of Taiji have gradually taken shape. The research and development of the key technologies for Taiji is now officially launched. A brief introduction to the analysis and the pre-work of the Taiji technology are given here.
