[i]About your request for astronaut autographs, we are sorry to say that there seems little possibility of obtaining their autographs. According to our astronaut section, they can't meet these requests because they receive so many. Thank you for your understanding.[/i]

T O P I C R E V I E WHart SastrowardoyoGot this from JAXA's PR department: About your request for astronaut autographs, we are sorry to say that there seems little possibility of obtaining their autographs.According to our astronaut section, they can't meet these requests because they receive so many. Thank you for your understanding.Bob MAs one of many interested in acquiring autographs of all 20 members of the Astronaut Class of 2009, that is disappointing and surprising information.Not long after the three JAXA members of the 2009 Class were announced, they returned collectors' material unsigned with a form letter stating that they would sign after becoming "certified astronauts." After waiting about three years for "certification" to occur, it looks like our patience was for naught.Hart SastrowardoyoIt'd be interesting to see whether or not Mukai signs tonight at KSC....As mentioned elsewhere, I had seen a JAXA astronaut making a speech/presentation, and people were turned down for signatures. Last year, I saw another JAXA astronaut who was scheduled to speak/make a presentation and asked the organizers about the possibility of autographs. That was turned down, but not because of the organizers.Looks like those of us who wrote JAXA early and received autographed photos - those with the (NASDA?) logo - got lucky....eurospaceHart, Mukai is still a good signer, even TTM. She is no longer an active astronaut, though, and has returned to Tanegashima.Hart SastrowardoyoI got back a ISP from Mukai within the past two weeks, about a month round trip.vostok1Last month I brought astronaut Satoshi Furukawa to a conference I was organiznung, and he was very kind and jinn to sign.Hart SastrowardoyoAki Hoshide was good about signing when he passed through Massachusetts a week ago.DirkKanai Norishige, sent August 13, received signed back yesterday (from JSC).MSSCongratulation Dirk, I asked all of three of them from JAXA by e-mail and no answer so far. Hart SastrowardoyoThis is posted under the female astronauts thread, but Yamazaki sent me an ISP.Hart SastrowardoyoKoichi Wakata declined to sign autographs today (Nov. 13).Hart SastrowardoyoMamoru Mohri, through the mail (not from JAXA, though), sent 23 November 2016, received back today (22 December).
