With the exception of a few highly trained astronauts and engineers, most of us could only dream about breaching Earth’s orbit.

NASA wants to change that in its next series of missions.

No, you can’t call shotgun on the Orion spacecraft launching Dec. 4, but now you can send a part of yourself to break the final frontier.

Until Oct. 31, you can register for a “boarding pass” that’ll get your name placed on a microchip to join NASA crew members on a four-and-a-half hour mission around Earth to test Orion’s systems, according to a statement from NASA.

"NASA is pushing the boundaries of exploration and working hard to send people to Mars in the future,” Mark Geyer, Orion program manager said. "When we set foot on the Red Planet, we’ll be exploring for all of humanity. Flying these names will enable people to be part of our journey."

After the Oct. 31 deadline, you’ll still be able to send NASA your name to take part in future test flights and (if you’re lucky) potential missions to Mars.

According to Space.com, NASA has been taking names on its missions for more than 15 years. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has collected names for similar programs.

The last time NASA collected names for a mission to go beyond low-Earth orbit was for its OSIRIS-REx mission to reach asteroid Bennu by 2016. The “Messages to Bennu!” program will take the public’s names to Bennu for more than two years before returning to Earth.
