People can upload their information on a new website under the Face in Space program to have it go into orbit along with the astronauts on the last two times the reusable space planes will launch.

In a statement released by NASA's space shuttle program chief John Shannon he said: "The Space Shuttle Program belongs to the public, and we are excited when we can provide an opportunity for people to share the adventure of our missions. This website will allow you to be a part of history and participate as we complete our final missions "

The next to last mission is scheduled to launch on September 16, which will be on Discovery, and the final space shuttle to go on orbit will be Endeavour, with its mission lifting off no earlier than November 27.

The Expedition 24 crew members aboard the International Space Station were busy with a variety of maintenance and science activities Wednesday as they orbited the Earth.

Commander Alexander Skvortsov and Flight Engineer Mikhail Kornienko tested the station's manual TORU docking system for Monday's relocation of the newly arrived Soyuz TMA-19 spacecraft. The Soyuz will be moved to the Rassvet module, the newest component of the station, clearing the way for the arrival of the ISS Progress 38 cargo craft on July 2. With fellow Flight Engineers Doug Wheelock and Shannon Walker aboard, Fyodor Yurchikhin will undock the Soyuz TMA-19 from the Zarya module at 1:58 p.m. EDT and dock to Rassvet around 25 minutes later.
