Lunar Ledger
A Global Database for Lunar Missions and Activities
Humanity is returning to the Moon, with governments, scientific organizations, and commercial ventures preparing for new opportunities. Over 100 missions are planned by 2030, supported by significant investment and increasing momentum towards a sustained lunar presence.
However, current progress highlights a need for greater transparency and coordination. Clear, reliable information is essential to support safety, effective planning, and responsible growth.
The Lunar Ledger— currently in beta— is a collaborative initiative developed to address this need. By providing centralized, verified mission data globally, it enables stakeholders across sectors to reduce risk, improve coordination, and contribute to a sustainable lunar environment.
Grounded in research on space law, international norms, and commons governance, the Ledger draws on published work that informs its design and demonstrates the need for a trusted, shared system for lunar activity.

“A lunar Registry could work as an essential tool for coveted locations where we will see increased activities, such as the Peak of Eternal Light or the Lunar South Pole.”
Jonathan McDowell, Astronomer and Astrophysicist at the Harvard–Smithsonian Center and Lunar Ledger Advisor
A Transparent Record of Humanity's First Commercial Lunar Missions
The Lunar Ledger’s founding partners are setting a precedent for how lunar activity can be conducted responsibly. By committing to voluntarily share mission information through the Ledger, these early partners are helping establish a shared foundation of transparency, coordination, and trust as activity on and around the Moon accelerates.
As some of the first commercial organizations to participate, founding partners play a critical role in demonstrating how open information-sharing can reduce operational risk, improve safety, and support peaceful coexistence on the lunar surface. Their leadership helps translate long-standing principles of cooperation in space into practical, real-world systems that benefit the entire lunar community.
Together, these partners are helping shape the norms and infrastructure that will guide sustainable lunar operations for decades to come.
“Continuing the trend of transparency Firefly demonstrated during Blue Ghost Mission 1, we are joining the Ledger to set an example of stewardship for safe and sustainable lunar operations.”
Will Coogan, Lunar Lander Chief Engineer, Firefly Aerospace
We will contribute to the pioneering and peaceful development of the cislunar ecosystem by sharing information transparently. Never quit the lunar quest.
Takeshi Hakamada, CEO, ispace-inc
“At Astrolab we know the value of acting with transparency and inspiring trust; we see the potential of the Lunar Ledger to positively influence the coming lunar industry by being the voluntary, collaborative platform by which we can keep everyone informed of our activities on the Moon, and stay informed of the activities of others.”
