NASA wants to fly your name to the sun aboard a groundbreaking probe it is sending into the star's atmosphere.
The agency is inviting people to include their name on a microchip aboard its Parker Solar Probe, which is launching on a historic research mission in July.
The probe will fly closer to the sun than any spacecraft before it to collect vital information about the life of stars and their 'weather', including solar flares.
Nasa has opened submissions to fly your name aboard the craft, and all you need to be included is your name and email address.
Applications are open until April 27, 2018, ahead of the craft's planned launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida on July 31.
In a video publicising Nasa's 'hot ticket' project, Star Trek actor William Shatner said: 'The first-ever spacecraft to the sun, Nasa's Parker Solar Probe, will launch this year on a course to orbit through the heat of our star's corona, where temperatures are greater than one million degrees.
'The spacecraft will also carry my name to the sun, and your name, and the names of everyone who wants to join this voyage of extreme exploration.'
To add your name to the Parker Solar Probe (PSP)'s memory card, go to Nasa's 'hot ticket' page and enter your forename, surname and email address.
Nasa will send then send you an email to confirm your credentials. Click the link in the message and then select 'confirm my submission'.
The agency even offers you a free digital certificate with your name and the date on that you can print or download.
WHAT IS NASA'S PARKER SOLAR PROBE AND WHEN WILL IT LAUNCH?
Nasa's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is set to travel seven times closer to the sun than any spacecraft before it.
Set for launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in July 2018, the probe will fly to the sun's outer atmosphere to study life of stars and their weather events.
It is hoped that PSP can help scientists to better understand solar flares - brief eruptions of intense high-energy radiation from the sun's surface that can knock out communications on Earth.
The spacecraft will swoop within 4 million miles (6.5 million km) of the sun's surface - bringing it seven times closer to the sun's surface than any spacecraft before it.
The craft will face extremes in heat and radiation and will reach speeds of up to 450,000 miles per hour (725,000 kph) at its closest flyby of the star.
The craft's kit includes a white light imager called Whisper, which will take images of solar waves as the craft propels through them at high speeds.
To measure the 'bulk plasma' of solar winds - described by Nasa as the 'bread and butter' of the flares - a set of magnetic imaging equipment will also be stored on board.
Anyone coming wth me?
