Want your name to go to Mars? Here’s how

NEW YORK: NASA is inviting people around the world to submit their names online, so as to etch them on to a microchip that will be sent to Mars. The microchip will be placed aboard the Mars 2020 rover.

The names can be submitted to the webpage (https://mars.nasa.gov/participate/send-your-name/mars2020) before September 30.

After the submitted names are reviewed and approved, the Microdevices Laboratory at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory will stencil the names on a silicon chip using an electron beam.
