Nasa is inviting the public to send in their name and a poem to be put on a DVD that will be carried aboard a Martian-bound spacecraft.
The disc will be in the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft, scheduled to launch in November.
Every name submitted will go on the disc but the space agency also wants people to write a short haiku poem.
A haiku is a form of writing that originated in Japan and is usually made up of three lines and around 17 syllables.
The three best poems, as voted for online by the public, will end up heading to the Red Planet.
"This new campaign is a great opportunity to reach the next generation of explorers and excite them about science, technology, engineering and maths," said Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator.
"I look forward to sharing our science with the worldwide community as MAVEN begins to piece together what happened to the Red Planet's atmosphere."
The project, coordinated by the University of Colorado at Boulder, is the first devoted to exploring and understanding the Martian upper atmosphere.
The spacecraft will investigate how the loss of Mars' atmosphere determined the history of water on the surface and explore its interactions with the sun and solar wind.
People who send in their names for the DVD will be able to print off a 'certificate of appreciation' to record their involvement and the deadline for entries is July 1.
The voting for the three best messages begins on July 15, with the winners announced on August 8. The MAVEN mission itself is expected to blast off in late 2013.
Nasa's Mars Curiosity rover is still on the surface of the planet as part of a two-year mission surveying the landscape and collecting samples.
