Send Your Name to Mars Reservations Update
Send Your Name to Mars is not currently open for reservations. We will reopen reservations closer to a launch date for a future Mars mission.
Were you one of the 11 million people who sent their names to Mars? See where it’s affixed to the Perseverance rover. And see everywhere Perseverance has carried it on the Red Planet.
Until the next Mars mission, if you want to get involved with NASA we have many ways to participate.
More Ways You Can Interact With NASA

Be Part of the Picture
Adopt a pixel on one of the first images from NASA’s newly launched Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. When Roman captures its first images — as it begins its mission to answer fundamental questions about dark energy, exoplanets, and astrophysics — each pixel will represent a unique piece of the cosmos, so claim yours and be part of this historic moment.

Earth Knows You by Name
Use satellite images of Earth to spell your name, in this NASA interactive that draws from Landsat's extensive record, spanning more than 50 years observing our home planet. These Landsat satellite images were sourced from NASA Earth Observatory, NASA Worldview, USGS EarthExplorer, and ESA Sentinel Hub, and are available for download.

Pick a Project and Get Busy
If you want to roll up your sleeves and get really involved, check out NASA Citizen Science — more than four dozen projects in which amateurs and volunteers help scientists and researchers make important discoveries. Using just their smartphones or laptops, citizen scientists help track wildlife on Earth, and meteors hitting the Moon. Join them — you could identify star-forming clumps in galaxy images, map cloud formations above Mars, test plants for use in space missions, or search for planets outside our solar system using NASA data.

Join NASA researchers and discover the secrets of the cosmos, search for life elsewhere, and protect and improve life on Earth and in space. A universe of discoveries awaits!
Upwards of 35,000 "citizen scientists" sifted through observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and discovered more than 5,000 "bubbles" in the disk of our Milky Way galaxy, areas of new star formation.NASA
