Your name headed to mars

Your name and call could be added to a microchip on the Mars Science Laboratory Rover heading to the red planet in 2011.

All you need to do is to go to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory URL below and fill in the blanks.

While there is no space for your callsign, many radio hams are simply adding it right after their last name.

The Mars Science Laboratory is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program. This is a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the red planet.

The Mars Science Laboratory is a rover that will assess whether Mars ever was, or is still today, an environment able to support microbial life.
