Name A Mars Crater For Father’s Day

Uwingu
For years, space mission rover drivers have named craters on Mars and Apollo astronauts have named landing site landmarks on their Moon missions.Now it’s your turn to help create the first crowdsourced Mars map.



Complete with names for all of the approximately 500,000 largest, still unnamed craters on Mars! You can also help name the map grid rectangles of all the Districts and Provinces in our address system–the first ever address system for Mars.

All existing Mars crater names, including IAU names, have been grandfathered into the Uwingu Mars map. Prices for newly named small craters begin at just five dollars, and increase with crater size. Give it a try!

When you name and purchase a Mars Crater, you will be able to download a .png image file of the certificate immediately – either from the confirmation email or through your order history when you are logged into your account. You can then print it out yourself or send it out for printing.

You can print it as many times as you would like. Your crater name, submitted by information and citation will also be added to the Mars Crater Map and visible to anyone viewing the map on uwingu.com.

Each feature named helps fuel The Uwingu Fund, providing grants to space researchers, educators, and entrepreneurs in this time of government cutbacks. Hurry, there are billions of people on Earth–far more than the number of available Martian craters!

About The Promotion

Today through June 16th, Uwingu is offering to give the first 100,000 people who sign up for our free, monthly newsletter, a completely free gift certificate to name a crater on our public engagement Mars map in honor of a dad.

Uwingu’s Mars Map will be carried to Mars aboard both the first Mars One robotic lander and also on the Time Capsule to Mars Project. Every crater named for a dad before Father’s Day on June 19th comes with a commemorative Father’s Day 2016 naming certificate emailed to the buyer. Join our newsletter HERE so you get the free gift code!

Said Uwingu’s founder and CEO, planetary scientist Dr. Alan Stern, “Never before has anything like this been done to honor dads on Father’s Day. Just join our newsletter list by June 16th and give dad something he will never forget, something truly novel, and out of this world.

We look forward to smashing all records for the number of named craters on any Mars map through this Father’s Day offer, and we hope you’ll take part for the dad in your life!!” Source: Name a Mars Crater for Father’s Day
