In this, the foundation’s research and activities investigate the responsible usage of Earth's surrounding spatial environment as a preservative medium for proemial resources in order to support future archaeological observations performed by humanities' distant descendants. While numerous initiatives are already committed to preserving libraries and knowledge repositories off-world, this foundation focuses exclusively upon ‘interpretability preservation’ i.e. providing an intuitive, non-partial introductory guide that should theoretically support bottom-up commensurability for the discoverer(s) over protracted intervals of cosmic time; regardless of the recipient's state of cultural evolution, social conventions, linguistic structure(s), cognition, ontogenic or phylogenetic traits, morphology, sensory perceptions or genetic heredity. The purpose of these intersubjective [https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323104072_Beyond_the_Earth_Specifications_for_%27eternal_memory%27_libraries_in_planetary_orbit ‘Companion Guide to Earth’][1] artefacts is to coordinate the archaeology of the future by providing a basic interpretation of our civilisation’s intelligible resources to assist a discoverer to formulate deductions about the contents before introducing more complex elements [and thereafter, denoting the location of other elaborate terrestrial/ celestial resources for further investigation and experimentation]. Beyond the Earth is a non-for-profit, public benefits and education foundation that adheres to both the egalitarian and common heritage of humankind principle; premises of international law which designate that defined elements of humankind’s collective (cultural and natural) heritage should be held in trust [and protected from national/ corporate exploitation] for the benefit of future generations. Project Purpose & ObjectivesThis foundation possesses a number of stated principle and secondary objectives[2];
Capsule Assembly and LayoutThe library will consist of sixteen micro-etched nickel discs of information that will be enclosed within a hollow aluminium sphere (a 30mm globe which has a graphic rendering of Earth’s typography accurately etched across its’ surface). Proposed Orbital ParametersPlacing these libraries within space presents a number of protracted conservation benefits including;
However, storage of these libraries also represents a number of disadvantages (which this foundation is presently investigating) including;
Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) is a stable region surrounding our planet that is capable of securely preserving objects for periods of cosmic time due to the relative balance between exerted radiation pressure, solar wind emanating from our Sun and also the gravitational influence of our home world. However, this region is not as stable as the much further Lagrange Points between Earth and other distant celestial bodies in the Solar System (these points are strictly regulated for continual scientific applications). As GEO is protected by Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) guidelines for contemporary telecommunication/ Earth observation infrastructure, upon passivation of the host satellite, this artefact will be maneuverered out into a further graveyard orbit just beyond GEO for secure storage. This region is still a very stable environment for the long-term preservation of these libraries and it is also capable of supporting further editions of this library over the ensuing decades (dozens of satellites are passivated into this disposal orbit per annum); therefore potentially facilitating a multi-generational portrait of our present generations. It is anticipated that slight perturbations within this region along with changes in solar pressure will eventually lead to a more elongated, elliptical orbit for most of these GEO objects; ultimately dislodging these artificial satellites into longer, heliocentric orbits after one billion years - a point in time in which Earth’s environment will become inhospitable for the continued proliferation of [present] life due to increased solar activity.
