Send your name to Moon with Nasa’s Artemis mission: Here’s how

NASA is providing individuals around the globe with the opportunity to get their name to the moon through the Artemis II mission set to happen soon. The names will be inscribed on an SD card found within the Orion spacecraft to be occupied by four astronauts on their historic 10-day journey across the moon on the Artemis II mission. 

This will be the first time individuals venture beyond low orbit since 1972.

Artemis II Crew

The Artemis II mission crewed by NASA astronauts, including Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen will fly aboard the Orion spacecraft orbiting the moon to return successfully to Earth. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman called this mission the biggest step yet toward the future.

The mission aims to test the capabilities of the spacecraft in functionalities such as living support, navigation, and communication.
