If you want to be part of a NASA mission, you have until July 12th to get your name to NASA so it can be added to the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

All of the submitted names will be uploaded to an secure digital card that will be attached to the space telescope. These names (and maybe yours) will then be stationed about one million miles away from Earth. As of this moment, NASA already has 145,949 names.

It is not the same as having an exoplanet named after you, but your name will be attached to the observatory that will be finding and analyzing exoplanets and more.

The current schedule calls for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to be launched on August 30th.
