Got 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. |

As 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. |

It'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.... |

Hart, Mukai is still a good signer, even TTM. She is no longer an active astronaut, though, and has returned to Tanegashima. |

I got back a ISP from Mukai within the past two weeks, about a month round trip. |

Aki Hoshide was good about signing when he passed through Massachusetts a week ago. |

Congratulation Dirk, I asked all of three of them from JAXA by e-mail and no answer so far. |
