Apollo Lunar Landing Sites

Where every Apollo mission landed on the Moon, with the surface artifacts they left behind — lunar laser-ranging retroreflectors, ALSEP science packages, and a few notable adjacent features. Drag to pan, scroll or pinch to zoom, click any marker for the detail card.

About this map

The basemap is a schematic near-side view drawn directly in SVG — a single circular disk with the major mare regions and a handful of named craters laid in for orientation. Markers are projected orthographically from selenographic coordinates: latitude positive north, longitude positive east, with far-side points (longitude beyond ±90°) not shown because every Apollo mission landed on the near side. Apollo landing-site coordinates come from the NASA Apollo Lunar Surface Journal; Lunokhod retroreflector positions come from the International Laser Ranging Service and NASA Planetary Data System.

The map is intentionally schematic rather than photographic. A photorealistic LROC mosaic adds bytes and detail without changing what the page is for — locating a small set of well-documented artifacts on the lunar surface. For high-resolution per-site imagery, see the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) site.
