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? -------------------- It's a funny old world - A man's lucky if he gets out of it alive. - W.C. Fields.

ISTR my name being on MPL, as well. Wherever it ended up.

I think these were missed:
Dawn, a chip. Huygens, a CD, separate from the CD Cassini carried. Possibly, something on Beagle II. My own list of what I knew made for another forum: Cassini http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/96/cdsign.html Dawn http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/feature_stories/s...mes_install.asp Deep Impact http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/sendyourname/index.html (not maintained) Kepler http://www.seti.org/kepler/names/ LRO Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter http://lro.jhuapl.edu/NameToMoon/index.php Mars Polar Lander (failed) http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/98/m98integ.html MER Mars Exploration Rover (Spirit and Opportunity) http://spacekids.hq.nasa.gov/2003/namequery.htm New Horizons http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/ecard/certificate/searchName.php Phoenix http://planetary.org/special/fromearth/phoenix SELENE (Kaguya) http://www.jaxa.jp/pr/event/selene/index_e.html Stardust http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/overview/microchip/ I think the Huygens probe had a CD, separate from Cassini's CD. UMSF: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/lofiver...x.php/t263.html The cancelled 2001 Mars Lander did (and the names were transferred to the MER mission). More about messages: Wall Street Journal: Message in a Bottle A Portrait of Humanity (PDF) describes the cancelled Huygens diamond disk and offers thoughts about messages to spacecraft discoverers, by Jon Lomberg, who designed the Voyager record. Beagle II carried something, I think. Anyone recall? |
