Giant Moon Map™

Step onto the surface of the Moon — no rocket required! The Aldrin Family Foundation’s Giant Moon Map™ is a massive, floor-sized map that turns learning into a lunar adventure. Students can walk across craters, trace the paths of Apollo astronauts, and explore the same terrain future explorers may visit one day.

Made from real lunar imagery, our Map brings the Moon to life beneath your feet. With engaging lessons and activities, students can measure distances between landing sites, plan lunar missions, and discover how science, math, and engineering all connect in space exploration.

It’s more than a map — it’s a launchpad for curiosity and big dreams.

Our Giant Moon Map™ includes many features that support students’ learning:
- Unified geologic map of the surface of the Moon (near-side) and its poles
- Color-coded key of geologic formations of the Moon
- Relative size and distance of the Moon versus Earth (including perigee and apogee)
- Upcoming NASA Artemis missions
- An international timeline of lunar exploration
- Graphic of LaGrange points between the Moon and Earth
- Geologic time scale of the Moon and Earth
- Key regions, surface features, and landing sites
Our Giant Moon Map™ is truly giant! Standard size is 33.5 ft x 15 ft (10.2 m x 4.6 m).
A smaller, classroom sized Map is also available: 8 ft x 4 ft (2.4 m x 1.2 m).

Giant Mars Map™

Pack your imagination — Mars is calling! The Aldrin Family Foundation’s Giant Mars Map™ brings the Red Planet right to your classroom floor. Students can trek across ancient riverbeds, climb towering volcanoes, and explore deep canyons wider than the Grand Canyon — all without leaving Earth!

Created from real NASA imagery, this enormous, interactive map invites young explorers to plan rover routes, choose landing sites, and imagine what it takes to live and work on another world. Every step across the Martian surface sparks curiosity and connects science, geography, and engineering in exciting new ways.

It’s more than a map — it’s your students’ first mission to Mars!

Our Giant Mars Map™ includes many features that support students’ learning:
- Elevation map of Mars
- Color-coded key of elevation
- Relative size of Mars and its moons and Earth and our Moon
- Comparative features of Mars versus Earth, including size, distance, velocity, and gravity
- An international timeline of Martian exploration
- Key regions, landing sites, and surface features
