🌕 What’s Happening: Send Your Name Around the Moon
NASA is offering a global, free public campaign that lets people from anywhere in the world send their names to orbit the Moon — not by physically going there, but as a symbolic participant on the Artemis II mission.
This initiative allows your name to be digitally stored on a tiny memory card aboard the Orion spacecraft during its historic lunar flyby. In return, you receive a personalized wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital boarding pass as a keepsake — a virtual token saying you’re part of the mission!
🚀 What the Artemis II Mission Is
Artemis II is NASA’s upcoming crew flight around the Moon, part of the Artemis program that aims to return humans to lunar space and prepare for future moon landings and even missions to Mars.
- It will be the first crewed lunar mission in decades, flying astronauts around the moon and back.
- The journey will last about 10 days and take the spacecraft far beyond lunar orbit before returning to Earth.
📝 How to Send Your Name: Step‑by‑Step
Here’s how you can participate in NASA’s “Send Your Name with Artemis II” campaign for free:
Visit NASA’s official submission page:
NASA has a dedicated form where you enter your name.
Enter your name — first and last name.
Create a PIN code (4–7 digits): This lets you look up and re‑download your boarding pass later.
Submit and download your digital boarding pass — you’ll get a personalized certificate to save or share online.
🔔 Tip: You can add multiple entries — e.g., names of friends, family, or even pets — and each entry generates its own boarding pass!
📅 Deadline — Act Soon!
NASA’s public sign‑up is open now but closes soon — typically around January 21, 2026 — after which the names will be compiled and the memory card prepared for the mission launch.
💫 Why This Is Cool (Even if Symbolic)
You won’t physically travel to space, but your name will symbolically orbit the Moon aboard one of humanity’s most ambitious exploration missions in decades — a chance to be part of history alongside the astronauts!
It’s free, open globally, and takes just a few minutes — making it a fun and memorable way to connect with space exploration.
