What is Virtual Moon?

Virtual Moon is using the best and latest data sets to accurately render the entire Lunar surface. We begin with Lunar topography data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission and the brand new USGS/NASA moon map, and we add high-resolution photography and elevation data from past and current Moon missions. Virtual Moon will be accurate in every detail. It will, of course, include all man-made objects that were sent to or left on the Moon.

You will be able to visit every landing site and walk around, examine, and learn about the objects to be found there. You will have complete freedom of movement over the entire Moon, either by just walking around in your custom spacesuit or by driving or piloting your own surface or flying vehicles.

So, where on the Moon would you like to go?

What do you want to do when you get there?



The short video above features the lunar South Polar region and our Tranquility Base demos. Both of these demos (and all others that are featured in our DEMOS page) are accessible for free to anyone just by contacting us with your name and email address. One of the highlights of the South Polar Region demo is Malapert Mountain which is the chosen location where our virtual Selene City will be built.

Tranquility Base is the Apollo 11 landing site as everyone knows. It is a multi-user meeting venue where you can hold meetings and events. The video includes clips from our Apollo 11 55th Anniversary event and it showcases some of demo the features such as ability to control the Sun’s position, to do some screen sharing for presentations, to highlight Neil and Buzz’s footprints, etc. We continue to work on and add to Tranquility Base to make it an exact replica of what the site looks like today.
