Hi,
Since this was so popular the first time, we've decided to create a second
microchip that will be carried on the STARDUST spacecraft. STARDUST
will launch in February 1999 to visit Comet Wild-2 and collect particles
spewing out from the comet and return them to Earth for analysis. The
microchip will be placed inside the sample return capsule and will
also be returned back to Earth after the comet encounter. To signup,
visit this home page:
http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/microchip/signup.html
Feel free to enter as many names as you like of your family, friends
and coworkers.
