The Moon is a key celestial body that records the formation and evolution of the solar system. The composition and characteristics of the lunar surface are the core of planetary science. Visible and near−infrared reflectance specrtroscopy has become the most effective technique for investigating the Moon's surface material composition and characteristics because of its advantages of wide coverage, sensitivity to changes in mineralogy, and minimal environmental impact. It has been widely adopted in many lunar exploration missions both domestically and internationally. In this study, we provided a detailed introduction to the remote sensing spectroscopy payloads and their performance carried by representative lunar exploration missions since the 20th century. We also summarized the scientific achievements of these payloads, covering aspects such as the global iron and titanium content, the composition of the lunar crust and mantle, the content and distribution of lunar surface water, as well as the maturity and optical properties of lunar regolith. Considering the technical features of these payloads and the needs of future scientific research, several development suggestions for future lunar remote sensing spectroscopy were provided including expanding the spectral range of detection, improving the spatial resolution, number of bands, and signal−to−noise ratio of payloads, and developing remote sensing data analysis methods based on "ground truth" of returned samples and artificial intelligence algorithms. These can serve as references for the design of future lunar remote sensing payloads.
