"My name is Josh, and my name has flown on a dozen spacecraft. The Planetary Society and NASA have cooperated to make that happen. These opportunities have always involved a microdot or CD. It's been a lot of fun and very educational but I want to offer you something better. I want to help you send a Postcard To Space."

Postcards are an ideal medium for short exchanges. They are direct, fun and instantly recognizable. Send a note to the cosmos! Order a Postcard Kit. You can draw, write, stipple, crayon, scribble in binary or anything your imagination can put in a 3" x 3" square.

Drop your completed Postcard in the mail. It will be scanned and added to our Internet streams, then printed onto the silver skin of the STREET space ring during construction. When the craft is in space in 2008, a camera and digital display will photograph your Postcard against the backdrop of space, and email the new picture to you. During flight, you will be able to track the spacecraft online and see it from the ground.

Return cards by January 31, 2008 for inclusion on the STREET ring. Arrangements are being made to fly some physical postcards into space, in CanSats or on suborbital rocketplanes. Postcards To Space is actively seeking new flight opportunities.
