Step into History: Your Name on the Moon!
Get ready for an out-of-this-world opportunity! NASA is inviting everyone to send their name along on the Artemis II mission, the first crewed flight to the moon in over half a century.
Scheduled to launch no later than April 2026, Artemis II is more than just a mission; it's a chance to inspire a new generation of space explorers! "Artemis II is 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," says Lori Glaze, NASA's acting associate administrator.
How to Join the Adventure!
Want your name aboard the Orion spacecraft? It’s simple! Just register for free on NASA's website before January 21, 2026. Once you're in, you'll receive a collectible "boarding pass" confirming your name will fly to the moon, tucked away on a flash memory card as part of the Artemis II Official Flight Kit.
Thousands have already signed up, eager to be part of this historic journey.
Meet the Crew!
Artemis II will be manned by a stellar crew: Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialists Christina Koch (all from NASA) along with Jeremy Hansen from the Canadian Space Agency. Together, they will make history as the first astronauts to voyage to the moon since the Apollo missions.
Join the Legacy of Space Exploration!
This isn’t the first time NASA has invited people to send their names into space. Similar campaigns for past missions like Artemis I attracted over 3.4 million enthusiasts! Other missions, including the OSIRIS-REx and Mars rover Perseverance, have also featured name drives, showcasing the public's incredible enthusiasm for space travel.
A Celebration of Space and Humanity!
NASA's journey began with the Stardust probe in 1999, which also carried a million names, including those etched on the Vietnam Memorial. Now, your name can be part of the next chapter in humanity’s adventure to explore the cosmos.
