Bringing together a wealth of information from many sources, including some material never before published, this atlas is a comprehensive reference on lunar exploration.

The missions are listed in chronological order, providing readers with an easy to follow history of lunar missions. Special attention has been given to describing the processes involved in choosing landing sites for Apollo and its precursors.
