Get Your Name On NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
Now you can get your name on NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, anyone who enters their name will have it written on digital storage on the orbiter. Several years ago NASA offered a similar program for a Mars orbiter or lander, but if I am not mistaken that spacecraft crashed or lost communication before it reached Mars. Despite its failure its safe to say the problem was not due to the names the craft was carrying.
Since my name did not make it to Mars I am eager to send it to the moon. I hope that this time it will arrive safely. The orbiters mission will be; to find safe landing sites, locate potential resources, characterize the radiation environment, and demonstrate new technology.
