DR. SAMUEL PERALTA

Dr. Samuel Peralta, Founder of the Lunar Codex, curated the exhibition 'Mars: An Artistic Mission' into the Archive of Contemporary Culture to be sent to the moon via the Lunar Codex.

LUNAR CODEX

The archival missions of the Lunar Codex are part of the most significant placement of contemporary arts on the Moon in over fifty years.

NANOFICHE™

The primary technology used by The Lunar Codex for NASA missions for the Nova and Polaris capsules - is NanoFiche™, a 12mm nickel-based 200,000-dpi analog technology impervious to temperature and humidity. Some have called it the medium of choice for a "million-year archive”.

ARCHIVE LOCATION

The Archive of Contemporary Culture of the Lunar Codex was installed within the south disc of the payload.

LUNAR PAYLOAD

The Lunaprise Payload was attached to a NOVA-C lander designated Odysseus (aka Odie) which was produced by Intuitive Machines (IM-1).

SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH

Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA. SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket delivered the IM-1 Nova C payload from Earth's orbit.

MOON LANDING

Odysseus lands on the Lunar South Pole at the Malapert Satellite Crater. NASA and Intuitive Machines deem the IM-1 mission complete.

ABOUT THE PAINTING

Dr. Samuel Peralta

Our hope is that the future travelers who find these time capsules will discover some of the richness of our world today...It speaks to the idea that, despite wars and pandemics and climate upheaval, humankind found time to dream, time to create art.
