Sweet. I've done this before on one or two other missions. I'll have to do it for this too. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks, jra. This is the first time I've heard of them doing this. What other missions did you do this on?

I honestly can't remember, it was a few years ago. Their have been a number of missions that have done this. I found a list that had these. Selene from JAXA, Phoenix Mars lander, Dawn, New Horizons, Deep Impact, The Mars Exploration Rovers and Stardust.

Thanks for the link! Really made my daughter's day when I gave her the certificate and explained it.

Thanks for the post, I'm glad that she enjoyed it. I think this is a great thing for kids. It makes them feel, I don't know, somehow connected to a universe that is just too large for them (or any of us for that matter) to comprehend.
