- Google Moon
- NASA satellite images of lunar landing sites. Zoom in on where Apollo Missions touched down on the Moon's surface. - Lunar Prospector (4)
- Find sites from NASA's Lunar Prospector, a Discovery-class mission dedicated to globally mapping lunar resources, gravity, and magnetic fields, and even outgassing events. Also read articles about the likelihood of finding water ice on the Moon.
- Artemis Project (2)
- Learn about the Artemis Project, a private venture to establish a permanent, self-supporting community on the Moon.
- Clementine (7)
- Mission was to test sensors and spacecraft components under extended exposure to the space environment and to make scientific observations of the Moon. Sites for the Clementine project offer different maps and image viewers of the Moon's surface.
- SMART-1 (3)
- First of the European Space Agency's Small Missions for Advanced Research in Technology, it is designed to provide an inventory of key chemical elements in the lunar surface. Sites highlight images of the Moon's craters taken by the ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft.
- Surveyor (8)
- Find information and descriptions about the first U.S. spacecrafts to land safely on the Moon. The Surveyors' main objectives were to obtain close-up images of the lunar surface and to determine if the terrain was safe for manned landings.
- Lunar Orbiter (7)
- Learn about the series of five Lunar Orbiter missions that were launched in 1966 through 1967 with the purpose of mapping the lunar surface before the Apollo landings. See the Lunar Orbiter's Photographic Atlas of the Moon and the findings of its experiments.
- Exploring the Moon
- Discusses the decision to go to the Moon and summaries of the Apollo, Clementine, Galileo, and other Moon missions. - Soviet Experiments and Data
- See photographs of the Moon taken by the Soviet's Luna and Zond missions. - Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (5)
- Learn about NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the first of the Lunar Precursor and Robotic Programme (LPRP) missions, planned for launch by late fall 2008. Find sites describing the LRO's mapping equipment, telescopes, and cameras.
- Project Constellation
- Learn about NASA's Constellation Programme that is working on the new spacecraft that will return humans to the Moon and blaze a trail to Mars and beyond. - Chandrayaan (5)
- Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS)
