A time capsule in a satellite that will fall back to Earth in 50 thousand years
Ami Ben Best
One day in July 2,001, if everything goes according to plan, it will be launched into space
One of the most intriguing technological objects ever seen. all who
May he hold in his hands at the time a small telescope and know where to look in the sky
will be able to see a tiny satellite out of the dome of the sky when on either side of it
Spread out long wings that rise and fall slowly.
This strange "bird" that hovers about at a height of about 1,500
KM is known as "Keo" and is the brainchild of a couple
French scientists and artists, Jean-Philippe and his wife-Carine Justine. Kio
Intended to fulfill an unusual and unusual task: to bring letters to the people
will be launched here in the future. In other words, Keo will be a kind of time capsule
Communicate between us, the people of the earth who are on it today, and the inhabitants
that they will inhabit the place for another 50,000 years (!)
The letters have already begun to be collected on the project's beautiful website.
The organizers are asking everyone who wants to write a letter in their language up to 4
Pages that will contain his thoughts and basically everything he wants (the content is not
will be censored). This text, they promise, will be stored on a special glass disk
which will be attached to Levin and sent into space along with all the other letters that will arrive,
And together with a selected "case" of information that characterizes early human culture
The century &#.8211; 21 Like carrier pigeons of old, the carrier pigeon will soar
This technology is in space for several tens of thousands of years, until it returns
Back home, she carries letters with her to people who will live here in the year
. 502,001
The technological idea behind Kio is fascinating. the route it will move
The satellite is carefully thought out so that it will bring it back to Earth, exactly
at the scheduled time. In order for Kyaw not to be harmed by all kinds of meteorites and fragments
Satellites moving in space, and will not burn up when entering the atmosphere, is
It will be equipped with special protective layers made of metals and materials that have already proven themselves
their resistance in the tests that were done. The wings are about 10 meters long,
will move up and down as the satellite passes between the illuminated areas
and the dark ones. This movement will be created as a result of using special materials
The so-called: "activators" (actuators) that react to changes in the environment.
This is an alloy with a memory that "knows" how to stretch and shrink, or
to return to the shape in which it was once designed, as a result of temperature changes.
At the end of the long odyssey in space when Kyo penetrates the layers
The pressures of the atmosphere, its warm shield will burn and glow with precious light like this
that the future inhabitants of our world will not be able to fail to notice him. who will
Will these creatures live here in the distant future? Unfortunately we don't have any
Possibility to know. Will they be able to read the messages sent to them from the past?
The answer to this question is probably yes. Assuming they will be creatures
Wise, they will probably also be curious enough to try
and decode the message. In order to make it easier for them, a guide will be attached to Kio that will contain
Simple drawings and signs that will be a kind of key to reading comprehension.
The importance of the project according to Jean-Philippe will not only be that we give
A wonderful gift for the people who will be here in the future, but also for us, my son
Man living in today's world. The messages that will come from the masses of people from all
The ends of the planet will serve as a faithful arrival of the thoughts, opinions and desires
their. Since all these letters will also be accessible to everyone
Through the Internet network, Qiao will become in this sense, the mailbox of
the world. This will create a unique opportunity for the existence of a global dialogue
where we will be our own recipients.
