NanoFiche is a superior space-age archival storage and analog technology with extremely high storage capacity. It is made from nickel and gold and is highly resilient to extreme temperature of up to 2,651°F (1,455°C). Tested by the Los Alamos lab, it has a zero degradation factor and the information will last the life of the metal. For some organizations, NanoFiche is the archival of choice for a “million year archive”, for its potential to last for billions of years in space.
NanoFiche has been integrated into four Lunar Missions and three Space Missions. A package of nano-inscribed nickel containing a massive number of hard copy documents landed safely on the surface of the Moon in Feb '24 attached to the outside of the Intuitive Machines Odysseus Lander.
A hard copy format strategy has a much higher likelihood of having the information be deciphered, using only light and optics, and understood than any digital content that are much too complex to decode requiring specialized computing equipment.
NanoFiche did the hard work of preserving information so future generations will have a much easier time learning from the transcending stored format.

it's done The MoonMars selection of artworks on the nanofiche have landed on the moon, inside the Lifeship pyramid onboard the Firefly Aerospace Blue Ghost Mission 1. Thank you for having me in this adventure. image credits: Lifeship and Firefly Aerospace except the artwork which is mine.

We did it!! After 3,5 years of very hard work the MoonMars Museum is a fact! The doors are open, the ribbon is cut, this baby is now on the Moon together with our virtual Museum, smart contract and more!! Ready for the future of art on the Moon together with art already on the Moon by Paul Van Hoeydonck! Bringing artists and artists communities to the Moon on the LifeShip payload on the Firefly Blue Ghost Lunar Lander!

Congratulations to Blue Ghost's successful descent and landing, powered by the RCS thrusters and their amazing technical team. Thanks to the team, a Lifeship carrying art nano-engraved into nickel plates, powered by #NanoFiche now lives forever on the surface of the moon.
Blue Ghost’s shadow seen on the Moon’s surface! We’ll continue to share images and updates throughout our surface operations. #BGM1
Fantastic manifest preserved forever with NanoFiche!

The Lunar Codex's art collection comes to life! Presented in association with the Burning Man Project and Snap Collective... "Manifest for the Moon" is a full-color premium-format art book featuring selected works from all the missions of the Lunar Codex - the most expansive and truly global project of its kind. Interspersed with scenes from the award-winning Lunar Codex documentary 'The Art Side of the Moon', music and video links, and more, "Manifest for the Moon" is an indispensable documentation, and a testament, of the efforts of thousands of creative artists to reach for their dreams, from Earth, to the Moon, and beyond. For a limited time, pre-order the book at €199, 26% off retail* - (link in the comments) Excelsior! ___ *Note: The Lunar Codex earns no revenue from this book. 100% of proceeds accrue to supporting artists through Snap Collective. I *purchased* two copies for myself, to add to that support. #LunarCodex #ToTheMoonAndBeyond
Fantastic use of #NanoFiche to deliver and archive humanity on a celestial body outside of Earth. It is a great demonstration of NF's ability to withstand extreme environments. 275 languages are preserved by #Unesco and #Barrelhand delivered by #ISpace.

On Wed 1/15 1 AM EST, we hope to have another successful launch on SpaceX's Falcon 9 carrying #NanoFiche on both Blue Ghost and Hakuto-R lunar landers. These two missions will mark the 4th and 5th integration of NanoFiche on lunar landers and expand the existing humanity archive on the moon. To last for millions of years on the surface, the NanoFiche archives are more than up to challenge the ravages of time and neglect. This fire test shows the power of nickel as a storage medium to withstand extreme environments. Even on Earth the archives will endure most disasters and precious documents will never be lost.

Excerpt from the documentary "The Art Side of the Moon", showing how the Lunar Codex stores selected cultural archives on NanoFiche - Permanent Archival Technology, based on nickel, that could last, on the Moon, a billion years. The Lunar Codex currently archives work from 259 countries & territories, and 148 Indigenous peoples. Launching 250,000+ artifacts from over 40,000 artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers, from Earth to space, the Moon, and beyond, it is one of the most expansive and global projects of its kind. ___ Video credit: "The Art Side of the Moon" is a production of You & Me Pictures / Pigeon Nest / Sunny Coast Showdown

Next week on Wed 1/15 1:11AM EST, history will be made as two concurrent lunar landers, iSpace's Hakuto-R and Firefly's Blue Ghost, will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9. Onboard they will deliver content designed to last forever on the moon as a analog hard copy on elemental nickel #NanoFiche easily retrievable with human eyes with aid of optics. The content will withstand the ultimate test of time and neglect that destroys all other forms of storage. The Hakuto-R will carry a library curated and translated by Unesco to preserve 275 endangered languages on Earth and a copy of "Le Petite Prince". Blue Ghost will carry a collection from artists Amy Karle, Richelle Ellis, Ed Kac, and gallery collections by MoonMars, LunARC, and the Lunar Codex. https://lnkd.in/e3iseYpd https://lnkd.in/e9P4TNCm
Inspiration begets realization.
As a kid I read every issue of Popular Science (the ads were kinda cool too). Now I find my #NanoFiche technology developed over my career in a technology article carrying humanity to the moon via the #LunarCodex, Arch Mission and others. Super awesome to check off another item on the bucket list.
