The Space InfraRed Telescope Facility (SIRTF) is a space-borne, cryogenically-cooled infrared observatory capable of studying objects ranging from our Solar System to the distant reaches of the Universe. SIRTF is the final element in NASA's Great observatories Program, and an important scientific and technical cornerstone of the new Astronomical Search for Origins Program. Following the tradition of the Great Observatories, NASA intends to rename SIRTF by the time of its launch. In order to promote public interest and awareness, the SIRTF Science Center (SSC), on behalf of the SIRTF Project Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), has been conducting a worldwide public solicitation for renaming the Observatory. In this poster we present some of the statistics showing the demographics and the plethora of submissions of possible names for SIRTF.
