Consider the certificate as a whole

A short private title leaves room for the recipient’s name and dedication. The portrait preview lets you check how those elements sit beside the coordinates and scientific reference. Read the message aloud, then look at it again at mobile size.

Keep the source identifier and personal title distinct. A private name can be meaningful without replacing an official scientific name or claiming ownership. The certificate is a record of the dedication within CRATERNITY, with the current test status clearly marked.

Keep the personal story easy to revisit

The PDF is the keepsake, the public verification page checks the record, and Reveal is the handover. These three views have different jobs. You can keep the name and message out of the public register while sharing the recipient’s private experience.

Use the gift controls on your order page to copy or explicitly share the recipient link. Your order-access link remains yours. If the wrong link has been shared, revoke it and create a replacement; a recipient’s old session no longer grants access to the revoked gift.

A few useful details.

What characters can I use?

The private crater title uses Latin letters, digits, spaces or hyphens and must be unique within CRATERNITY. The recipient’s name supports the certificate fonts’ Latin, Cyrillic and Greek characters; unsupported glyphs are checked before checkout.

Does the image show my actual crater rim?

The certificate illustration is centred on the scientific coordinates. It is not a detailed orbital photograph of the rim. The atlas provides separately sourced orbital views with their coverage information.
