Abstract: We review the main cosmological backgrounds of gravitational waves accessible to detectors in space sensitive to the range $10ˆ{-4}$ to $10ˆ{-1}$ Hz, with a special emphasis on those backgrounds due to phase transitions or networks of cosmic strings. We apply this to identify the scientific potential of the NGO/eLISA mission of ESA, regarding the detectability of such cosmological backgrounds.
