Send Your Name to a Comet!

“To make a Deep Impact on Comet Tempel 1, enter your name (e.g. Wilhelm LeBerecht Tempel) below. It will be included with other names on a disc attached to the impactor spacecraft, which will collide with Tempel 1. You can make your own personalized certificate after you click the “Send My Name” button with your name entry.

Once you’re entered in the campaign, remember to sign up for our future newsletters. Check the bottom of this page. We also have an Email form that will make it easy for you to tell your friends so they can make a Deep Impact too!

NOTE: This is a free campaign and all ages are welcome!! A list of submitted names may at some point be published. This project will stop taking names in January of 2004.

Click here if you have questions about what names can be submitted, or how many you are allowed to submit. NOTE: Please use the English alphabet/character set when adding your name. Foreign character sets will not be read correctly by our database.”
