Send your name into space

Send your name on the New Horizons spacecraft!

Names entered on the mission Web site will be recorded onto a special compact disc, which will be mounted on the spacecraft before its journey.

The  New Horizons Pluto-Kuiper Belt mission is scheduled to launch in January 2006, swing past Jupiter for a gravity boost and scientific studies in February 2007, and reach Pluto and its moon, Charon, in July 2015.
Then the spacecraft would head deeper into the Kuiper Belt to study one or more of the icy mini-worlds in that vast region, at least a billion miles beyond Neptune's orbit.
