Launch a coin from the satellite over your head.

Everything about Lunarpad in one place: what it does, how an orbit becomes a verifiable stamp, and how to check any coin without trusting us.

What is Lunarpad

Lunarpad is a launchpad for pump.fun on Solana. Instead of a blank form, you start from the sky: the site tracks thousands of real satellites live, you pick the one passing over you, and the coin is launched carrying that satellite's exact position at that moment.

Lunarpad is a front end. It never holds your funds or private keys. You sign the launch once, in your own wallet, and the coin lives on pump.fun like any other.

The project's own coin is $LUNAR, launched on pump.fun. Its contract address is listed under Links.

Launch in 4 steps

Choose your locationAllow location, or type a city. Lunarpad then shows what is above you right now.
Pick a satelliteChoose from the list or click one on the globe. Filter by rarity to hunt for something special.
Lock the orbitLunarpad captures live telemetry (position, altitude, speed, time) and turns it into an ORB-XXXXXXXX stamp.
Name it and signSet a name, ticker, image and optional first buy, then approve once in your wallet. Your coin appears on pump.fun.

The first buy is optional and set by you. Nothing is sent until you approve it in your wallet.

The live sky

Orbit data comes from CelesTrak, the public catalog of orbital elements. Lunarpad propagates each satellite in your browser with the standard SGP4 model, so every position you see is computed on your own device and updates continuously.

Satellites overhead counts those currently above your horizon.
Globe views switch between the planet, a flat map and a close-up of the ground track.
The Earth is lit by the real position of the sun, so night and day on the globe match the time you are looking at.

Positions are accurate to a few kilometres at best. They are a snapshot of a prediction, which is exactly why the capture is timestamped and hashed.

The orbit stamp

When you lock an orbit, Lunarpad builds one line of text from the captured values and hashes it with SHA-256. The first 8 hex characters become the stamp, such as ORB-3F9A12CE. The full line is printed in the coin description, so anyone can recompute it.

VERSION | NORAD id | name | latitude | longitude | altitude km | speed km/s | UTC time
OVERHEAD/1|25544|ISS (ZARYA)|47.1234|-8.5521|421.7|7.660|2026-10-16T14:13:28Z

Field	Format
latitude, longitude	degrees, 4 decimals
altitude	kilometres, 1 decimal
speed	km/s, 3 decimals
time	UTC, ISO 8601, to the second

Change any single digit and the hash changes completely. That is what makes the stamp a fingerprint of that exact moment.

Rarity

Every satellite has an orbit tier, set by what it is and where it flies.

Common

Low Earth orbit, under 1,000 km.

Score 10

Uncommon

High low Earth orbit, 1,000 km and up.

Score 25

Rare

Medium Earth orbit, 2,000 km and up.

Score 40

Relic

Launched 25 or more years ago.

Score 60

Legendary

ISS, Tiangong, Hubble and Vanguard 1.

Score 100

Rare finds

On top of the tier, some satellites carry a badge that adds to the rarity score.

Find	What it is	Bonus
Space station	The ISS or Tiangong	+40
Space telescope	Hubble	+40
Weather watcher	NOAA, GOES, Meteor, Fengyun and similar	+20
Dead satellite	Switched off but still in orbit	+35
Space debris	Rocket bodies and fragments	+35

Starlink satellites are shown separately and do not carry a tier. The leaderboard ranks launched coins by rarity score.

Verify a coin

You never have to trust Lunarpad's word that a coin is real. Two independent checks are built in.

1. Recompute the stamp

Open the coin and copy the line in its description, from the version tag to the UTC time.
Compute its SHA-256 (any hash tool works).
The first 8 hex characters, in upper case, must equal the ORB- stamp.

2. Check the launch signature

When you launch, Lunarpad's server signs the full hash together with the ticker and your wallet address using an Ed25519 key. The public key is published in the site's configuration, so anyone can confirm that a coin's stamp really passed through Lunarpad and was not typed in by hand. The private half exists only on the server.

Open any coin inside Lunarpad and the page runs both checks for you and shows the result.

Safety and wallets

Non-custodial. Lunarpad never sees your keys and cannot move your funds.
One signature. A launch is a single transaction you review and approve in your own wallet.
No other permissions. Lunarpad asks only to connect and to sign that transaction.
Check the address. Only trust links from the official X account and this domain.

Never share your seed phrase. Lunarpad will never ask for it, and neither will anyone from the team.

Meme coins are volatile and most lose all of their value. Nothing here is financial advice. Check the rules where you live before you launch.

Costs

Lunarpad itself does not charge a fee to launch. You pay what pump.fun and the network charge.

Item	Amount
Priority fee	about 0.0005 SOL
First buy (optional)	you choose, 0.01 SOL by default
Slippage on the first buy	10%
Network and account rent	small, paid to Solana

The wallet shows the exact total before you sign.

FAQ

Do I need to allow my location?

No. You can type a city instead. Location is used only in your browser to work out what is above you.

Is the satellite position exact?

It is a prediction from public orbital data, good to a few kilometres. The stamp proves what Lunarpad captured, not a measurement from space.

Can two people launch the same satellite?

Yes. Each launch has its own time and so its own stamp. The same satellite at a different second is a different coin.

The globe is slow on my device.

Lunarpad adapts to your screen, and you can switch to the flat map view, which is lighter. Turning on reduced motion in your system settings also calms the animations.

My wallet did not pop up.

Make sure your wallet extension is unlocked and that the site is allowed to connect. Then press the launch button again.

Where does my coin live?

On pump.fun, like any other coin. Lunarpad only builds the launch and lists it in its own registry.
