Name A Star Live is proud to announce the sixth launch of our customers' star names into space on board The Goddard Flight. Launch occured at 7:21 am MDT, Friday, May 20, 2011 from Spaceport America, New Mexico on board an UP Aerospace SpaceLoft XL launch vehicle.

After flying in space, the rocket's payload -- including the star names and messages -- re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and parachuted to Earth. We should have photos and video of today's launch available on this Web page later today.

The star names and Star Certificate personal messages of all Name A Star Live customers who purchased on or before May 3, 2011 were on this spaceflight.

The flight is named after the father of American space exploration, Dr. Robert Goddard, who performed much of his pioneering aerospace work in New Mexico.
