When beginning to design a Lunar Base, choose from a selection of the different moon landing sites that were used during the Apollo missions following the famous moon landing in 1969.

The landing sites in SpexWorld! Lunar are artists impressions, but the names are real and you can see a little information about each of the space missions to these sites below. In SpexWorld! Lunar you can make your own lunar base at each of the landing sites, and for a bit of added space experience you can change the background scenes to take you to different Lunar Worlds; Io and Titan for example and the fantasy worlds of Vulcan and Krypton!

The Sea of Tranquility served as the landing site for the Apollo 11 lunar module, the first manned landing on the Moon.

Three small craters near the site have been named Aldrin, Collins, and Armstrong in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts who landed there in 1969.

 "One small set for man, one giant leap for mankind!"

The Apollo 14 landing site was located, about 30 miles north of the Fra Mauro crater.

The space vehicle with a crew of Alan B. Shepard, the commander, Stuart A. Roosa, the command module pilot and Edgar D. Mitchell, the lunar module pilot, was launched from Kennedy Space Center on January 31, 1971
 

The Apollo 12 landing site was located at the Ocean of Storms and was the second of the Apollo missions to land on the moon.

The space vehicle with a crew of Charles Conrad, the commander, Richard F. Gordon, the command module pilot and Alan L. Bean, the lunar module pilot, was launched from Kennedy Space Center on November 14, 1969

Descartes Highlands (artists impression)

The hilly region around Descartes crater in the lunar highlands was the landing site for Apollo 16.

The space vehicle was launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 16, 1972 with the crew John W. Young, Commander, Thomas K. Mattingly II, Command Module Pilot, and Charles M. Duke, Lunar Module Pilot
 

Apollo 15 was the fourth mission to land men on the Moon. This mission was the first flight of the Lunar Roving Vehicle which astronauts used to explore the geology of the Hadley Rille region.

The space vehicle with a crew of David R. Scott, commander, Alfred J. Worden, command module pilot and James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, was launched from the NASA Kennedy Space Center on July 26, 1971

Apollo 17 was the last Apollo mission to land men on the Moon.

It carried the only trained geologist to walk on the lunar surface, lunar module pilot Harrison Schmitt. Eugene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17, still holds the distinction of being the last man to walk on the Moon, as no humans have visited the Moon since December 14, 1972.
