US space agency NASA is aiming to send a host of new names into space for the first time — by going to the Moon and back.
It is inviting the public to join the agency’s test flight when four astronauts venture around the Moon for its Artemis II flight scheduled for early 2026.
The flight is to test systems and hardware needed for deep space exploration.
NASA wants people to send in their names to be put on an SD card loaded aboard the Orion spacecraft for the journey.
In return, participants can download a boarding pass with their name on it as a collectable.
The “Send Your Name with Artemis II” effort allows anyone to claim their spot by signing up before January 21 next year.
The names will accompany NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen.
NASA acting associate administrator Lori Glaze said: “Artemis II is a key test flight in our effort to return humans to the Moon’s surface and build toward future missions to Mars.
“It’s also an opportunity to inspire people across the globe and to give them an opportunity to follow along as we lead the way in human exploration deeper into space.”
The scheduled 10-day Artemis II test flight is expected to launch no later than April 2026.
It is the first crewed flight under NASA’s Artemis campaign toi land humans on the Moon .
It will also help the agency prepare to send the first astronauts to Mars.
Anyone who wants their name on the trip can get an English-language boarding pass at go.nasa.gov/artemisnames and a Spanish language version at go.nasa.gov/TuNombreArtemis.
OPS:Anyone who signs up will be able to download a souvenir boarding card.
