About Mars Districts and Provinces

Provinces and districts are part of Uwingu’s “Mars address system.” Just as the Earth is divided into countries and states, Uwingu has divided Mars into provinces and districts. And just as the Earth can have cities with the same name if they’re in different countries and states, Mars can have craters with the same name if they are in different provinces or districts.

Provinces are 3 degrees on a side (about 180 km across at the equator), and there are 7200 Uwingu provinces on Mars.

Districts are 1 degree on a side (about 60 km across at the equator). There are 64,800 Uwingu districts on Mars.

The People’s Map of Mars

The Craters Of Mars Named By The People Of Earth

Between February 26, 2014 and May 15, 2017 people from around the world participated in creating the first crowdsourced Mars map. Uwingu’s map includes a total of 20,809 names contributed by the public, as well as all existing Mars crater names, including IAU names.

When participants named and purchased a Mars Crater, they received a downloadable Certificate of Crater Naming. The purchase price for each crater named helped fuel The Uwingu Fund, providing grants to space researchers, educators, and entrepreneurs in this time of government cutbacks.
