This convention may be extended if other space-faring countries suffer fatalities in spaceflight. |
Lacūs, Maria, Paludes, Sinūs | These features are assigned names which are Latin terms describing weather and other abstract concepts. |
Montes | Montes are named after terrestrial mountain ranges or nearby craters. |
