FYI


I believe the stardust is the satelite/observer launched from the U.S. in 1999 or 2000 that had a chip with names on it. This, if my memory serves me right had Andrea's name on it. (ANDREA ABSOLONOVA)


The part that was to return to Earth parachuted down in the state of Utah here in the U.S. the other day. I cannot remember if the chips came with it or if they remain in space trailing the comet or meteor it was following or landing on. I remember her telling me about such a thing she had done and believe this was what it was called. I may be wrong. But pretty sure this was it. If anyone has any other info to confirm, add, or correct this I welcome it. But thought you all would want to know this, as it is just a little interesting thing she had done.

Here is a link to confirm her name on the chips. I think she is about halfway on the A list. It is in ABC order.

As I read it gave info that there was a chip that stayed in space and also one that came back to earth. Both with all names on them. So now our lovley Andrea is up with the stars forever.

That's interesting news, I didn't know that. Maybe now I remember that somebody told me about it before, but I'm not sure.

A second name collection effort was performed from May-August 1998. For the second microchip, we found a location on the back of the arm holding the dust collector for the chip to reside. We have collected over 1 million names for the second chip. Like with the first microchip, two copies were made, with one inside the Sample Return Capsule, and the other copy on the spacecraft body.
