The NASA Space Rock Committee has completed their judging. All preliminary finalists have been contacted by NASA via email
If your submission is selected as a finalist by the NASA Space Rock Committee, you will be notified via e-mail and the following additional information will be requested: a full length version of the submitted entry, printed lyrics and a signed copy of the
Permission and Release for Use of Song and Related Content. All of which must be returned to to NASA no later than
February 28, 2011.
The top submissions will then be posted on this website, and the public will be invited to listen to the songs and vote.
Voting will be open to the public approximately three weeks prior to mission launch, which is currently scheduled for April 19, 2011.
The top winning songs (determined by a public vote) will be announced during the STS-134 mission and will be played during the final space shuttle mission, currently scheduled to launch on
April 19, 2011. Updates of the exact dates and times that the winning songs will be played will be provided as launch of the mission draws closer.
