This is an interesting campaign by NASA by which you can send your name on Red Planet.
More than 1.2 million names were submitted on NASA’s web site over a one year period for Curiosity! Some 20,000 visitors to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Fla wrote their names on pages that were scanned and reproduced at microscopic scale onto two chips the size of a dime.

All those who submitted their names for NASA’S curiosity mission their names are officially on Mars now.
A placard commemorating NASA’s “Send Your Name to Mars” campaign was installed on the Perseverance Mars rover on March 16, 2020, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Three fingernail-sized chips affixed to the upper-left corner of the placard feature the names of 10,932,295 people who participated. They were individually stenciled onto the chips by electron beam, along with the essays of the 155 finalists in NASA’s “Name the Rover” contest. Liftoff aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket is targeted for mid-July of 2020 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station . NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at Kennedy, is managing the launch.
