# Printed Red Planet Maps These MARS Ultra-Large Maps are Otherworldly and Detailed By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-04-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/large-maps References: [thegadgetflow](http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/mars-ultra-large-maps/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/planetaryprinting/mars-ultra-large-maps) Missions to Mars are set to start within the coming years, so the [MARS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atv-trike) Ultra-Large Maps from the [Planetary Printing Press](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/konica-minolta-planetary) come as a way to celebrate personal or artistic interest in the red planet. The maps are centered on Oxia Palus, which is one of the 30 quadrangles of Mars that are references by the USGS Astrogeology Research Program. This makes each piece a true work of art to incorporate into a living space or office to mark the curiosity and intrigue that surrounds the planet in our solar system that we might one day call a second home. The MARS Ultra-Large Maps are printed on [archival-grade matte paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inkposter-duna) with UV-resistant ink to ensure they'll look great for years to come. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Missions to Mars:** Opportunity for companies to develop innovative technologies and solutions to support future missions to Mars. - **Planetary Art:** Potential for artists and designers to create unique and visually stunning artwork inspired by the red planet. - **Space Tourism:** Emerging market for tourism companies to offer out-of-this-world experiences by taking people to Mars or providing related services. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Printing and Publishing:** Opportunity for companies in the printing and publishing industry to cater to the demand for Mars-related maps, posters, and other printed materials. - **Home Decor:** Room for businesses in the home decor industry to create Mars-themed products and accessories to meet the growing interest in space exploration. - **Technology and Aerospace:** Potential for companies in the technology and aerospace sectors to develop advanced instruments and tools for exploring and studying Mars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Otherworldly Fashion Brand Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-mars-billboard.md) - [Planetary-Inspired Glassware Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-collection.md) - [Map-Inspired Fleece Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xplorer-maps.md) - [Martian-Informed Inflatable Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martian-house.md) - [Educational Martian Metaverse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mission-mars.md) - [Pizza-Shaped Universe Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universe-map1.md) - [Mars ATV Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atv-trike.md) - [Mars Colonization Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortis-novonaut-amadee24.md) - [Minimalist Mars Exploration Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nova-nasa-watch-concept.md)
