Published on May 1, 2012 in All About Pins. Closed Tags: , , , .

You may have heard of exploratory plans by Planetary Resources, which was created by James Cameron, Larry Paige, and Eric Schmidt among others, to begin the process of mining asteroids for their minerals and water. Well NASA and the University of Arizona beat them to the punch!

You heard that right!  NASA will launch a spacecraft to an asteroid in 2016.  It will use a robotic arm to pluck samples.  These samples will explain our solar system, how it was formed, and how life began.  The mission is called Origins-Spectral-Interpretation-Resource-Identification-Security-Regolith Explorer or OSIRIS-Rex.  It will be the first US mission to carry samples from an asteroid back to Earth.

Custom lapel pins are great for recognizing momentous events. Customized and detailed, they can be a number of different styles.  The pin pictured here is offset printed. This makes it easy to include an image of the satellite itself as well as a stylized image that states its purpose.  If you want others to know what your program is for, including information about it on a custom lapel pin is the way to go.
