Craterra service record
What a Craterra digital certificate records
A Craterra certificate connects a selected lunar location with a digital record inside the service. It is designed to preserve the place, geometry, issue details, and a route to public verification in a document that can be viewed independently of the 3D scene.
- Region
- Copernicus
- Center
- 9.6° N · 20.1° W
- Status
- Verified record
Fields tied to the selected place
The certificate is generated from the plot record rather than from a generic decorative template. Its location details describe the same area selected on the lunar surface.
- Location
- Selenographic center and bounds
- Geometry
- Triangle identifiers and total area
- Record
- Certificate and plot-group numbers
- Verification
- Public URL, QR code, and record status
- Integrity
- IPFS CID and metadata hash
A map inside the document
Certificate variants include a contour representation of the selected region so the document retains a visual connection to its terrain. Coordinates and identifiers provide the precise record; the map makes that record understandable at a glance.
Public verification is separate from the exported PDF or image. A recipient can follow the verification URL or QR code to review the current public certificate record.
IPFS record and integrity
After issue, the public certificate metadata is pinned to IPFS. The CID and metadata hash provide a content-addressed record for checking that the published metadata has not changed.
What the wording means
The certificate attests to a digital ownership record within the Craterra service. It does not assert legal title to the physical lunar surface, sovereignty, mineral rights, physical access, or exclusive use outside the service.
That distinction is part of the certificate design itself and should remain visible wherever the document is presented.
