Stephanie Stockman recently created this video about the project to include a database of names on the next moon trip. These will be included on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

My name is in the registry

I posted my name to the registry, so I’m going to the moon. How about you?

NASA invites people of all ages to join the lunar exploration journey with an opportunity to send their names to the moon aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, spacecraft.

The Send Your Name to the Moon Web site enables everyone to participate in the lunar adventure and place their names in orbit around the moon for years to come. Participants can submit their information at http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/, print a certificate and have their name entered into a database. The database will be placed on a microchip that will be integrated onto the spacecraft. The deadline for submitting names is June 27, 2008.
