From VAL 202 / Slovenia
In the late 1960s, a group of artists smuggled a small ceramic reel of six miniature paintings on board the Apollo 12 lunar mission, which they named the Moon Museum. In the near future, however, a larger and more elaborate object, an artifact of humanity in the form of a time capsule, the MoonArk miniature museum, will travel to the Moon. The flight was scheduled for next Thursday, May 4, but there was a complication during the testing of the rocket on which the MoonArk will be loaded, and so the flight was postponed, the new date is not yet known.

Egy csapat egyetemista a NASA-t megelőzve indít rovert a Holdra
From Helló Magyar / Ukraine
65 évnyi holdkutatás után az Egyesült Államok végre a Holdra helyezi első autonóm járművét. Ezt a küldetést azonban nem a NASA mérnökei fogják irányítani – hanem egy elkötelezett egyetemistákból álló csoport. Az Iris rovert a pennsylvaniai Carnegie Mellon Egyetem diákjai és oktatói fejlesztették ki három év alatt. A Holdra a NASA kereskedelmi célú holdi teherszállítási szolgáltatási programjának (CLPS) részeként szállítják, amely az ügynökségnek a kereskedelmi űrkutatási iparral való együttműködésre irányuló törekvése. Az eredeti tervek szerint 2021 végén vagy 2022 elején indult volna, de a NASA holdprogramjában bekövetkezett visszalépések miatt a start idén tavaszra csúszott a Live Science szerint.

Many of us have created time capsules — boxes filled with objects from when we were growing up — and buried them in the backyard for future generations to discover. However, a group of experts from various fields have taken this to the next level and created a time capsule that will be sent to the moon.
In this episode of Science with a Twist, our host Sung-Dae Hong welcomes Dylan Vitone, Mark Baskinger, and Matt Zywica. Mark, Dylan, and Matt are associate professors at Carnegie Mellon University, School of Design, and the creators of one of the ultimate time capsules — the mysterious and innovative MoonArk.
MoonArk bo na Luno ponesel tudi slovenska nanoartovska dela
From Radio-Television Slovenia
Our collaborators Teja Krašek and Janko Jelenc were interviewed by Radio-Television of Slovenia.
Sondi Voyager sta v sedemdesetih ponesli s seboj v vesolje vsaka svojo zlato ploščo s podatki o človeški civilizaciji: fotografije, pozdrave v različnih jezikih, glasbo in zvoke z našega planeta. Nekomu tam zunaj so želeli naš planet predstaviti v čim bolj celostni, nesovražni luči. Že prej pa je skupina umetnikov na vesoljsko odpravo Apollo 12 pretihotapila majhen keramičen kolut s šestimi miniaturnimi slikami, ki so ga poimenovali Moon Museum. Letos bo na Luno odpotoval večji in bolj dovršen predmet, artefakt človeštva v obliki časovne kapsule, miniaturni muzej MoonArk, ki bo z deli 250 umetnikov z vsega sveta nekakšen prvi muzej na Luni. Med deli so tudi nanoartovska dela likovne umetnice Teje Krašek in znanstvenika Janka Jelenca.
Na naslovnici oddaje vidimo kopijo slike Janka Jelenca, ki gre na Luno nosi naslov Forest (Gozd). Slika je bila posneta z vrstičnim tunelskim mikroskopom, prikazuje pa površino poliranega jekla.

Autonomous robots building the shelters and other structures astronauts need before they even land is an exciting idea, but is it practical?

However, a realistic test will take place when Astrobotic’s Peregrine lands on the Moon.

Carnegie Mellon’s MoonArk, headed for the Moon in 2021, is more than a mini time capsule. This highly collaborative and massively integrated project is both a sculptural work of art and a tiny museum of humankind, intended to spark wonderment for future humans through poetically entangled visual narratives of the arts, humanities, sciences and technologies. It represents a snapshot of Earth today that we can send forward in time to allow future humans to learn something about us. Project director Mark Baskinger explains that the MoonArk, built to last thousands of years, will be a fossil object for future Moon landings, an artefact that will link the discoverer to the complexities of a distant era.

Much of what we’ve left in space has been done out of practicality. Used pieces of spacecraft, lost satellites, and even dune buggies and garbage don’t get returned to Earth because it would be too difficult or energetically costly do bring it home.
