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.
