SELENE "Wish upon the moon!" Campaign

Application Period: Friday, December 1, 2006 to Wednesday, February 28,
2007

Sponsor: Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency
Cooperation: The Planetary Society of Japan
and The Planetary Society (U.S.A)

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) plans to launch the lunar
orbiter "SELENE" on a H-IIA Launch Vehicle from Tanegashima Space Center in
the summer of 2007.

The SELENE is an artificial satellite that aims to collect closely featured
scientific data on "The formation of the moon and its transitional history
up to today," which is the biggest lunar exploration project since the
Apollo Project.

JAXA will accept from the public names and messages to deliver to the moon
aboard the SELENE. Please send us your wishful messages.
