The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. The Moon is becoming a prime destination for efforts by many nations seeking to expand into space. The project of China's lunar exploration, Chang'E Project, was approved to set up, opening the curtain of China's deep space exploration. In this study, a GIS-based lunar exploration information system in China is first built before the launch of Chang'E -1. By the system, the lunar exploration information in the past and near future can be managed and analyzed. And the client can browse some lunar exploration results in the internet, such as Apollo landing sites, and lunar craters. Thus, it is available to integrate and compare the lunar exploration results of China to the past lunar exploration under the system.
