Lunar LIGO and gravitational wave astronomy on the MoonGravitational wave astronomy continues to be one of the exploration concepts under consideration in NASA's strategy for conducting physics and astrophysics from the lunar surface. As with other proposals for new concepts in science and astronomy from the Moon, this one has a number of very interesting features which need to be developed further in order to assess them adequately. The possibility of robotic deployment of a gravitational wave antenna on the Moon in a triangular configuration and the question of closure on the third interferometer leg are discussed here.
