Orbital Radar's Lunar Globe is an interactive, real-time 3D map of the Moon. It tracks active lunar orbiters — NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), India's Chandrayaan-2, Korea's Danuri (KPLO) and NASA's CAPSTONE — on live positions derived from JPL Horizons ephemeris, plus China's Queqiao-2 relay on a physically modeled orbit. Click any orbiter to see its altitude, velocity, ground track, orbital period and whether it currently has line-of-sight to Earth or is behind the far side.
The globe also maps the lunar surface: Apollo and robotic landing sites (Apollo 11 at Tranquility Base, Apollo 17, Luna 24, Chang'e 4 and Chang'e 6, Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander, and IM-1 Odysseus), impact and crash sites, named maria and craters (Tycho, Copernicus, Aristarchus, the South Pole–Aitken basin), and the permanently shadowed regions and peaks of near-eternal light at the south pole that NASA's Artemis programme is targeting. It renders the real day/night terminator, the Moon's current phase and Earth–Moon distance, live space weather at the Moon, and Earth in the lunar sky.
