The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is NASA’s next big mission to the
Moon, & it will launch later this year. It will carry a camera that
will have 50 cm resolution on the surface of the Moon, a laser
altimeter for mapping the lunar topology, a radiation detector to map
out the radiation environment of the Moon, and more.

But there’s something else it can carry as well: your name. NASA is
putting a microchip onboard LRO that will contain the names of anyone
who submits them. Send them your own, or a relative, or someone you’re
trying to impress.

I think this is a cute idea. It doesn’t hurt the mission, doesn’t
add any real mass, but it can help inspire people about space travel
and give them a sense of ownership. They even have a cute video about
it.
