How Your Name Will Fly Aboard NASA’s Europa Clipper

Go behind the scenes in the Microdevices Laboratory at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to see how your name could be sent to Jupiter’s moon Europa as part of NASA’s “Message in a Bottle” campaign. Names will be stenciled in tiny letters on special microchips that will ride aboard the Europa Clipper spacecraft as it journeys 1.8 billion miles (2.6 billion kilometers) to the icy moon.
See how technicians will use an electron beam to stencil names onto microchips, where each line of text is smaller than 1/1000th the width of a human hair. The microchips will be attached to a metal plate engraved with the original poem “In Praise of Mystery,” written by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón to celebrate the mission. That plate will then be attached to the exterior of the Europa Clipper spacecraft.
NASA’s Europa Clipper mission aims to determine whether Europa has conditions that could support life. Once spacecraft assembly has been completed at JPL, the orbiter will be shipped to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida in preparation for launch in October 2024.
You can add your name to the “Message in a Bottle” campaign through Dec. 31, 2023. To sign, go to: go.nasa.gov/Me...
Find more information about Europa here: europa.nasa.gov/
JPL is a division of Caltech in Pasadena.

I added my 92 year old Dad's name to this, always interested in Astronomy and passed his interest on to me he seriously illin hospital but smiled when I told him he's off to Jupiter

[@daviontm249]

🎉and so the legacy continues ❤❤

[@AdaiviusSatterfield]

💐beautiful,to sit an think your name is being sent off to another world you’ve never been is exciting like we made our mark that will forever be remembered.

I got my name engraved too on the perseverance rover on Mars😄

Then your name will be added to the list of alien abductees. I'll be looking forward to meeting you. 😊

That’s so cool! 👏🏾

[@howtocookazombie]

Can you try finding your submission on their website (at link "Check in"). I tried with the same information that I submitted, but the website tells me that it doesn't recognize my name. Weird... Does it work for you?

[@rosaevelynsalas11]

I've signed up and so excited to know our names will soar to Jupiter's moon. But then even in the Perseverance for Mars I was one of them too...

[@NJASpace]

Same thing!

[@DynamicduoFOREVER18]

Hi @rosaevvelynsalas11 May I ask Why do we need to provide ZIp code? Will they come to collect?

[@igorlerinc3510]

@@DynamicduoFOREVER18 So aliens can come after us first.

[@ZwiebelSenf]

​@@DynamicduoFOREVER18 Hi, I guess it's just for statistics. On the project's website there is a participation map on which you can see where all these names come from :)

It will land on europa in 2031 and I'm so excited but it takes so much time

[@_Dani.Lynn_]

My 5 yr old has always told me he wants to fly to the stars. This was the perfect thing for him and my daughter (who both of their names are space inspired). When I told him his name is flying in space he was so excited!

[@bbqbean301]

This is an amazing idea, and even more amazing to know how it is achieved. I've already signed my name on. Can't wait to see more!

[@extropiantranshuman]

I love how all the elaborate tech goes into doing something so simple (writing a name), yet so special - because it shows all of this is for us in the end! A fantastic reminder.

[@christopherwilkinson326]

Always thought James Cameron should do a film on the Storm situated on this ice moon and the depths beneath. Personally, given his track record on films that are deemed event horizons of their time, it'd be stimulating, to say the least.

[@dannybell926]

Signed up... thank you. Something so trivial yet so astounding at the same time

[@Pimpernel123]

Signed up thank you.I can't put into words how grateful I am for this opportunity and thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who made this possible

[@thisyhis7698]

this is why we love you nasa. for doing cool stuff like this.

[@howtocookazombie]

Signed too. Nowadays our technology became very small and efficient - I wish, people could send more than just their names. A collection of all our knowledge, thoughts, dreams. Spreading all over our solar system and not only on Voyager into deep space.

[@DynamicduoFOREVER18]

Why do we need to provide zipcode? Will they come and collect a bottle or something? Or not?

[@howtocookazombie]

@@DynamicduoFOREVER18 To be honest: I don't know. I don't think, that it is either required or important. Maybe they use it for statistical analysis. Just enter a fake ZIP code, if you don't want to give out your real info.

[@fathi0000]

​@@DynamicduoFOREVER18 same question.why they need zip code?

[@howtocookazombie]

@@DynamicduoFOREVER18 They are now offering an interactive map on their website, where you can see how many people have sent in their names from which countries around the world. I assume that this was the reason.

[@DynamicduoFOREVER18]

May I ask what will they use are zipcode for? Will they collect something?

[@howtocookazombie]

2.620.861 names were added! This shows how involving people in projects like this can spark the interest of many people around the world in NASA projects like this. I hope that more projects will involve people in the future, if the costs to realize them can be lowered.

There is 1. 1 million names already as of the 2nd Dec. It closes 31st Dec. Think how long it would take to write those before the launch it Oct 2024 and the space it would take as the name are to be etched on a chip 1/1000 inch. So if you think your name is going to be on there think again.

[@r4zoruss321]

Electron-beam lithography is only used in 1 off production. Too bad they're just burning it up in the atmosphere or crashing it.

Now it wouldn't be modern NASA if it were actually productive now would it? In fact they have a whole streaming channel they are using tax payer dollars to shovel money at instead of working on manned missions and actual exploration beyond the living room.
