The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) has as its goal the development of gravitational wave physics and astronomy. The LIGO Laboratory is managed by Caltech and MIT, and is funded by the National Science Foundation. It operates observatory sites equipped with laser interferometric detectors at Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana. The initial LIGO detectors performed better than their design sensitivity and data sets spanning over three years of coincident operation have been collected. Analysis is ongoing, with extensive participation by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC). A major upgrade (Advanced LIGO) is almost complete which will increase the sensitivity of the detectors by tenfold once commissioned. In addition, an R&D program supports the development of enhancements to the detectors as well as future capabilities.
