NASA ANNOUNCES STS-133 WAKEUP SONG WINNERS; FACE IN SPACE TOTALS

HOUSTON -- Following months of public voting, NASA announced the two 
winners of the "Top 40 Song Contest," which will awaken space shuttle 
crew members during their ongoing mission. The agency also released 
the final tally of submissions to the Space Shuttle Program's "Face 
in Space" campaign. Participants cast almost 2.5 million votes for 
the song contest and submitted more than 292,000 photographs for the 
Face in Space campaign. 

"Blue Sky" by Big Head Todd and the Monsters, the most requested song 
to wake up shuttle Discovery's crew during the STS-133 mission, 
collected 722,659 votes. The song received 29.3 percent of the total 
votes. Finishing second was the "Theme from Star Trek" (original 
series), which also will serve as a wake up song. It received 671,133 
votes, or 27.2 percent of the votes. To see the results for all 40 
songs, visit:

There were 2,463,521 votes cast during the contest that ran from Aug. 
20, 2010, through Nov. 1. Participants voted from a list of 40 songs 
that have previously awakened shuttle crews. 

NASA's Face in Space campaign received 194,181 photos that will be 
uplinked to shuttle Discovery via Mission Control at NASA's Johnson 
Space Center in Houston. The images will return to Earth through a 
data transmission, and contributors will be able to print 
certificates verifying their photos flew aboard Discovery. 

More than 98,000 other photos already have been submitted to fly 
aboard the next shuttle mission. Shuttle Endeavour's STS-134 flight 
is targeted to launch April 19. Submissions will be accepted though 
the liftoff date.
