Current-status reference

Active lunar missions

This dashboard includes only missions whose current operational status Lunar Probe has recently verified against a primary agency source. It is not a live spacecraft tracker.

Status can change. The verification date shows when the operational claim was last checked. Orbital animations elsewhere on the site are educational simulations, not live positions.
