Abstract
This investigation shows that a lunar-based Fabry-Perot gravitational wave antenna would provide a valuable complement to Earth-based systems, both for conclusive, first detection of astrophysical events as well as for new opportunities which afford themselves on the Moon. Due to the unique features of the lunar environment, the possibility of probing the early Universe by detecting relic gravitational waves left over from the Big Bang is discussed.
