Do we have any satellites currently monitoring the activities on surface of the Earth's Moon?

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter comes to the mind first. It's NASA spacecraft which takes images of the lunar surface from about 50 km height. And GRAIL pair of satellites will (or maybe already are) study the interior composition of Moon by measuring it's gravitational field.
Probably there are others which i don't know about.

What term is given to satellites that remain above the same point on the Earth's surface in their orbit?

How many satellites are included in Global Positioning System?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) currently consists of a constellation of 31 operational satellites. These satellites are spread out in six orbital planes, approximately 20,200 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
What kind of satellites collect data about a strip of Earth's surface?
Mapping satellites.
What carries instruments that collect information about Earth's surface surface and atmosphere?
satellites
How can satellite technology be used to provide warning of potentially tsunamigenic earthquakes?
Satellites are monitoring our planet on a second-by-second basis. Many of them are on 'scientific' missions - specifically monitoring the planet's surface for sudden changes. Any shift in the Earth's tectonic plates can be detected - and warnings given to allow people to flee to safety.
Which layer of the atmosphere do communications satellites orbit?
Most communications satellites operate outside of the earth's atmosphere. The GPS satellites are about 23,000 miles from the surface of the earth.
Can five satellites cover the whole surface of the earth?
Actually only 3 geostationary satellites are enough to cover the earth.
Why are satellites used in remote sensing?
remote sensing satellites develop highly detailed and accurate maps on earths surface.
Why are satellites use for earth's surface?
