Helen
$20.19 per month
This tier is very personal and very special for us. To the whole world Helen Sharman is known as the first ever UK astronaut and the first woman to fly to the Mir space station. But she was also the first astronaut who met in person with our satellite builders. We will never forget that. Because it was in 2019, the tier is 20 dollars 19 cents a month (not $2019!). :)
Reward:
Reward:

Reward:
Reward:
- With this donation you'll get access to a once-in-three-months video chat with girls who build the satellite. We have to limit this type of donation, because we won't handle a video chat with more than 20 people at the same time. :(

Anousheh
$512 per month
Anousheh Ansari was the first Muslim female astronaut. This means a lot for Kyrgyzstan, where most of the population are Muslims. It is easy to become Islamophobic when right-wing politicians are getting more and more power in the West.
Reward:
Reward:
- This donation will give you a special reward: one-to-one conversation with Muslim feminists or Muslim LGBTQ-activists about how diverse Islam can be! Very refreshing and cliche-breaking!
Peggy

Peggy Whitson holds the record for the most time in space among female astronauts. She spent astonishing 665 days cruising around our planet, mostly on the International Space Station. To commemorate her achievement, we are introducing this generous donation option.

And there will be a generous reward:
- Your name will be engraved on the CubeSat itself (but with very-very small letters, unfortunately, because the satellite is so small).
