New Horizons: Interactives
pluto.jhuapl.edu
The New Horizons spacecraft launched on January 19, 2006 – beginning its odyssey to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. New Horizons now continues on its unparalleled journey of exploration with the close flyby of a Kuiper Belt object called 2014 MU69 – officially named Arrokoth – on January 1, 2019.

In 2005, NASA had a program that allowed you to enter your name to be placed on a CD-ROM that was to be put on the New Horizons probe to Pluto. I was able to look mine up and still see the certificate.

    Yep. NASA did a similar thing for the Perseverance rover except, if I’m remembering correctly, they used some sort of nanotechnology wizardry to etch over 10 million names on computer chips.
