Abstract In this perspective, we outline that a space borne gravitational wave detector network combining LISA and Taiji can be used to measure the Hubble constant with an uncertainty less than 0.5% in ten years, compared of ground based detectors which within 2% next five years by standard siren method. is Chinese detection mission planned for launch early 2030 s. The pilot satellite Taiji-1 has been launched August 2019 verify feasibility Taiji. results few technologies tested on are presented paper.
