I'm trying to compile a list of all the spacecraft onto which the public were able to place their name via some digital format.

Here's what I've got so far (Please let me know if any are incorrect)

Deep Impact
New Horizons
Phoenix
LRO
Kepler
Cassini
MERs
SELENE

Are there any more I've missed?

Here's all the ones that Society member names have flown on:

Pathfinder (on MAPEx experiment chip)
Stardust (in return capsule and separately on spacecraft on microlithograph)
Hayabusa (on foil on target marker left on asteroid)
MERs (on DVDs on landers)
Deep Impact (on CD inside impactor, so they are now vaporized)
New Horizons (on CD)
Phoenix (on DVD on deck)
Kaguya / SELENE
LRO (name collection closes on June 27 -- sign up fast!)

And, for the ones that wound up on the bottom of the ocean:
Mars 96 (on MAPEx experiment chip)
Cosmos 1 (on CD)

Thank Emily! That's great!

It's a great way to send something of yourself into space and also gives you a slight feeling of immortality.
