<A Realistic Lunar Surface Built from Observation Data>
Using a simulation environment developed through joint research between JAXA and historia Inc., this game recreates a scientifically grounded, realistic Moon.
- High-resolution DEM data (terrain elevation)
- Statistical crater distribution
- Natural rock dispersion patterns
- Sun, Earth, and Moon positions that change over time
The lunar terrain featured in this game is a result of joint research with JAXA.
<Explore the Lunar Surface>
Walk across the precisely recreated Moon, pilot a rover, and explore freely at your own pace.
Alone on the lunar surface, you receive a single mission.

In addition to observation data, slopes of craters and other features are synthesized based on scientific studies and added to the terrain data.
Playtime: 15–30 minutes
