| Summary:
The Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA) is a next-generation
gravitational-wave (GW) facility on the Moon. By harnessing the Moon’s unique
environment, LILA fills a critical observational gap in the mid-band GW
spectrum ($0.1 – 10$ Hz) between terrestrial detectors (LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA) and
the future space mission LISA. Observations enabled by LILA will fundamentally
transform multi-messenger astrophysics and GW probes of fundamental physics.
LILA will measure the lunar deep interior better than any existing planetary
seismic instruments. The LILA mission is designed for phased development
aligned with capabilities of the U.S.’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services and
Artemis programs. LILA is a unique collaboration between universities, space
industries, U.S. government laboratories, and international partners.
