This article reviews the present status of the technology and instrumentation for the joint ESA/NASA gravitational wave detector LISA. It briefly describes the measurement principle and the mission architecture including the resulting sensitivity before focussing on a description of the main payload items, such as the interferometric measurement system, comprising the optical system with the optical bench and the telescope, the laser system and the phase measurement system, and the disturbance reduction system with the inertial sensor, the charge control system and the micropropulsion system. The review touches upon the requirements for the different subsystems that need to be fulfilled to obtain the overall sensitivity.
