Hurry! You Can Catch A Ride To Jupiter With NASA
Hurry! You Can Catch a Ride to Jupiter with NASA
Well, at least your name can.
One of the planet Jupiter’s largest and most intriguing moons is called Europa. Evidence hints that beneath its icy shell, Europa hides an ocean of liquid water – more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined. In 2024, our Europa Clipper robotic spacecraft sets sail to take a closer look…and when it launches, your name can physically be aboard! Here’s how:
NASA’s Message in a Bottle campaign invites people around the world to sign their names to a poem written by the U.S. Poet Laureate, Ada Limón. The poem connects the two water worlds — Earth, yearning to reach out and understand what makes a world habitable, and Europa, waiting with secrets yet to be explored.
The poem will be engraved on Europa Clipper, along with participants' names that will be physically etched onto microchips mounted on the spacecraft. Together, the poem and names will travel 1.8 billion miles to the Jupiter system.
Signing up is easy! Just go to this site to sign your name to the poem and get on board. You can send your name en español, too. Envía tu nombre aquí.
The Europa Clipper launch window opens in October 2024, but don’t wait – everyone’s names need to be received this year so they can be loaded onto the spacecraft in time. Sign up by Dec. 31, 2023.
We hope you’ll be riding along with us! Follow the mission at europa.nasa.gov.

Imagine a grain of sand on your fingertip at arms length. That is the amount of sky covered in this image! This is the first deep field image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. All of those little smudges are galaxies with billions of stars in them. What we see tomorrow will be absolutely mind blowing! #explorepage #nasa #jwst #telescope #space #solarsystemambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf5EXutOYhx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Loved this movie and the book. The best ensemble cast ever, in my opinion.
I know it’s a very specific category, but I still can’t believe this! Thank you to my friends and family! #space #iss #internationalspacestation #childrensbooks #stem #steam https://www.instagram.com/p/CJZberVjUrF/?igshid=tb8xj1y7quxl
Gathering materials for my first Solar System Ambassador event, the landing of the Perseverance rover on Mars. This one hits me a little differently, since I had a small part as a judge in the name choice essays. Perseverance touches down on Mars on February 18, 2021. #mars #perseverance @nasa @nasasolarsystem #space #marsrover #mars2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLBiu2uD1gX/?igshid=1x25d71dp0b22

Hosted a “Story Time From Space” event today at Kate’s camp. The kids learned about the ISS and all of the exciting experiments taking place up there. They also made artwork for the Space for Art Foundation’s BEYOND project. @issnationallab @spaceforartfoundation @iss #iss #space #issnationallab #astronauts #spacestation #science #stem @nasa #nasa https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCKwFKnIG3/?igshid=116ibjl2qrlwa

I host public outreach events about the science and research taking place everyday on the International Space Station. A favorite event of mine is called "Story Time From Space", where astronauts onboard the ISS read children's stories featuring space science and STEM topics. (Opinions are my own.)
