The article talks about the limitations of LIGO that make it impossible (currently) to detect such a small effect, but would the proposed Laser Interferometer Space Antenna[1] (LISA) probe be sensitive enough to measure this memory effect?
The proposal is to arrange three spacecrafts in an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 2.5 million km (for comparison, each "arm" of LIGO is 4 km long).
