ExplOrbit questions, answered plainly

You receive a personalised ExplOrbit Moon Conservation Certificate naming a specific territory, its selenographic coordinates, and a unique registry reference. Your claim is recorded permanently in the ExplOrbit registry. The package also includes the ExplOrbit Star Chart, the ExplOrbit Conservation Activity Book, and the ExplOrbit Conservation Decal.

No, and we will never claim otherwise. Under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty no nation may claim sovereignty over the Moon, so no legally recognised real-property title to lunar land exists anywhere. An ExplOrbit certificate is a commemorative collectible and an official recorded pledge of stewardship.

The ExplOrbit 2-acre package records a named territory in one of the major lunar maria. The ExplOrbit 5-acre package places you in a premium preservation zone: sites selected for clear Earth visibility, notable geology, or proximity to polar regions where water ice has been detected.

Each territory in the ExplOrbit registry has fixed selenographic latitude and longitude drawn from documented lunar regions. When you select a territory it is held for you, then permanently assigned once payment is confirmed on our server. No two customers can ever be assigned the same territory.

Yes. Add a partner, a family, a classroom, or a research group. Whatever you enter at checkout is recorded on the certificate and in the ExplOrbit registry exactly as written, so check your spelling before confirming.

Yes. The ExplOrbit stewardship pledge is a lifetime commitment and can be passed on as a gift or inheritance. Contact the ExplOrbit registry with your certificate number to record a transfer.

All ExplOrbit packages are shipped on the day the order is received. Shipping within the United States is included in the package price. International orders are charged a shipping fee, shown before you pay and calculated from the delivery country you select at checkout. International delivery takes 10 to 15 business days.

Yes. Every ExplOrbit certificate has a number that anyone can check on our public verification page. Verification confirms the territory, region, acreage, and issue date. It never exposes your email, address, payment details, or order information.

Card details are handled entirely by a PCI-compliant payment provider and never touch our servers or database. We store only a transaction reference and status. Prices are resolved server-side from our own catalogue, so a price cannot be altered in the browser.

The Moon has no atmosphere, so nothing erodes and nothing heals. A mining pit or rover scar lasts for millions of years. Commercial extraction is being planned for the same polar regions that hold the greatest scientific value. Conservation arguments need to exist before that begins, not after.
