We analyze the sensitivities of a geostationary gravitational wave interferometer mission operating in the sub-Hertz band. Our proposed Earth-orbiting detector is expected to meet some of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission science goals in the lower part of its accessible frequency band ($10^{-4} - 2 \times 10^{-2}$ Hz), and to outperform them by a large margin in the higher-part of it ($2 \times 10^{-2} - 10$ Hz). Since our proposed interferometer will be more sensitive than LISA to supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of masses smaller than $\sim 10^{6}$ M$_{\odot}$, we will be able to more accurately probe scenarios that account for their formation.
