The contents of the List of proposed missions to the Moon page were merged into List of missions to the Moon on 04 February 2016. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
This article is rated List-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
To clarify, I placed the ((Use British English)), ((Use DMY dates)) and ((British English)) tags on this article and its talk page respectively, to reflect a matter of fact - that the page was started in, and has evolved in, British English with DMY dates - since an inexperienced editor had started using other spellings. Since the article doesn't cover any specific country there are no national ties to justify changing, so WP:ENGVAR and MOS:TIES state that this should not be changed. True, the United States has conducted missions to the Moon, but they do not have a monopoly on the subject. In any case undiscussed changes of dialect are considered disruptive editing. --W. D.

The list in the Moon exploration article tries to include all missions that were conceived to perform scientific studies either of the Moon itself or physical and/or biological impact of the satellite environment; it excludes missions such as ISEE-3 that approached the Moon due to orbital dynamics requirements to fulfil its mission that are present in the List of missions to the Moon article. So I think these lists should not be merged as they have different goals. Tom Paine (talk) 02:20, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
I propose that List of proposed missions to the Moon be merged into this article. Because both articles are about missions to the Moon its better to have their content in the same article. MartinZ02 (talk) 12:35, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Most of the information about lunar exploration programs is duplicated between those two lists. The main differences are:
For #1, I have no strong preference, we should pick a style as is or maybe start with one of the lists and incorporate extra information from the other. I'm just opening the discussion. For #2, I don't see the need for a separate list of robotic probes: on the contrary, lunar probes during the Space Race were precursors to manned missions or rehearsals thereof, so grouping them in the same article is more historically relevant. Comments welcome. — JFG talk 14:00, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

The Aurora programme article lists a manned mission to the moon in 2024. So, why is it not listed here? Kidburla (talk) 15:24, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Which of these missions were manned? How does one go about requesting a new column be added? Matthewmorrone1 (talk) 22:42, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
It says "astronauts" for the planned Chinese crewed lunar mission 1. Is there a consensus on wikipedia whether the word "astronaut(s)" or "taikonaut(s)" should be applied when refering to Chinese space crews? 08:54, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
KevWang and I had a disagreement over the assessment of Chinese Yutu rover mission (partial vs mostly successful). @KevWang:: I admit KevWang's idea that it is inadequate to use the same assessment 'partial failure / partial success' to describe this mission and Soviet Mars 3 lander. It seems that the term 'partial failure' is ill-defined and susceptible to be abused.
There is a list of possibly disputed robotic science missions:
1. ExoMars EDM lander: crash-landed. ESA declared the mission 'a success'. My opinion: Failure.
2. Mars 3 lander and Hitomi telescope: very limited useful data returned to earth. My opinion: Failure. Or a new category named 'minimally successful' (as opposed to 'mostly successful') should be created.
3. Yutu rover: stranded and worked as a quasi-stationary lander for a significant portion of the primary mission. My opinion: Partial failure.
4. Akatsuki: inserted into a highly elliptical orbit and suffered an electronic failure disabled two instruments out of five. My opinion: Partial failure.

Constellation specifically says the Obama administration cancelled it; Resource Prospector just says it was cancelled. Either we should always identify the administration or never. I would lean towards saying it was cancelled and leave the administration out, although I do not have strong opinions. Thoughts? Kees08 (Talk) 18:55, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
The EM-1 is a ride-share launch. It carries several independent lunar spacecraft with independent missions unrelated to the Orion test so they are not just "components" of it. Each of the secondary spacecraft is an individual lunar mission from a variety of institutions, with individual goals, and therefore their deletion from this list was not valid.

Since Beresheet was a private enterprise, not national, should the national flag icon be displayed at missions to date? Doing so seems contrary to MOS:FLAG which says the flag may be used "where the subject actually represents that country or nationality". The same argument applies to SpaceX's row under future crewed missions. Bri.public (talk) 17:20, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
@Curiosityyy:, telemetry communication is not the same as commands. Vikram had an automated landing system:
Proposal: add info about first UK's moon mission (spacebit mission one), which explore lunar caves use spider-like moon rovers. I think, it's relevant for wiki about space. I've already done the editing, but there's no page on this mission. Do you think the mission deserves a separate page? --Serhii Harbaruk (talk) 11:56, 23 January 2020 (UTC) 23.01.2020, Serhii Harbaruk
Turkish Space Agency (TUA) just announced their space program with includes two moon missions. First attempt will be a hard landing at late 2023. Second attempt will be a soft landing at 2028.

An IP started adding some years (permalink), Footy2000 removed them. I like them and propose to add them again and complete the table. It adds relevant information and it doesn't interfere with the current information content of the table. --mfb (talk) 18:58, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
BTW, if a country achieve multiple event in one year, I will still enter the year for each event. The redundancy would highlight the significance of that year.

I understand that the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore, but it's achievements for the Menkind will last forever (as you couldn't hide it in the long list of missions). I just find the omission unethical. Just give the deserved credits to the Soviets and show some respect to their successors - The Russian Federation.

The current table that lists the missions does not seem to be easily navigable. Lots of scrolling just to see the latest missions makes it less user friendly. With split in two sections, namely: Missions in 20th century and Missions in 21st century can make it easier to access older missions as well as the latest ones.

I'm quite confused about how those figures have been counted and, even more, if the method used will still be a good fit in the upcoming era of commercial space exploration. The total seems to be less than the total number of launches (149 as of today) but at the same time some launches are counted multiple counts (multiple cases cooperation between different agencies, or hosted payloads from different countries like in the Hakuto/Rashid case) so I'm really struggling to find a logic in there. Maybe it's time to settle the issue and decide what should be counted exactly and why in order to repeat the count and have consistent figures.
I'm personally fine with counting not just every launch but every spacecraft (on the long term it seems the best working option), and also to count multiple times spacecrafts built by multiple companies/agencies from different countries, but a hidden comment should be added to keep track fo these latter cases.

I am confused about the order of countries to reach the surface, article lists China as 6th then India as 5th, then Luxembourg as 8th followed by Israel as 7th. Earnsthearthrob (talk) 18:03, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
Whether a lander ended up on its side, nose, or facing an unexpected direction are not inherently criteria of mission success. The criteria are whether each payload was enabled to perform its designed function. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 05:07, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Under Future Missions, and under Artemis 3 Starship HLS delivery, the Roo-ver mission is incorrectly manifested on this mission.
The Australian space agency "Roo-ver" rover mission is not yet manifested, but will fly on an unspecified CLPS lander, not HLS. 131.170.239.14 (talk) 01:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
