A Japanese spacecraft that once carried over 13,000 Hatsune Miku fan messages and drawings into space has officially ended its mission after 15 years. Before launch, JAXA ran a PR campaign inviting the public to send handwritten notes and illustrations to Venus. Vocaloid fans organized an effort to “send Miku to space,” contributing thousands of messages and drawings of Hatsune Miku that were printed onto aluminum plates attached to the probe. The spacecraft finally entered Venus’s orbit in December 2015, where it spent more than eight years studying the planet’s atmosphere.
