amarsissage : L'utilisation du néologisme «amarsissage» pour désigner l'atterrissage d'un engin spatial sur Mars est critiquée et jugée superflue par plusieurs auteurs, l'élément «atterrisage» faisant référence à tout sol, et non spécifiquement à la Terre. 4, record 1, French, - atterrissage%20sur%20Mars

amartizaje: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que, en principio, no hay necesidad de crear nuevos términos para aludir a los aterrizajes en otros planetas u objetos astronómicos, pues "aterrizaje" no alude al planeta Tierra, sino al suelo. Sin embargo, en el uso han aparecido algunas palabras basadas en nombres propios específicos, como "alunizaje", a partir de Luna, y "amartizaje", del planeta Marte, ambas recogidas en la vigésima tercera edición del Diccionario de la lengua española. 3, record 1, Spanish, - amartizaje
