KEO satellite is a satellite space time capsule carrying message of present to the distant future, 50,000 years from now to be exact. It is scheduled to launch by the end of 2007 or 2008. The satellite has various shielding, such as cosmic ray shielding and meteor impact shielding, that protects its content.
The content includes glass made radiation resistant DVDs, which includes personal messages from people around the world, the contemporary Library of Alexandria and compendium of current human knowledge. Also included, a diamond that encases a drop of human blood and samples of air, sea water and earth. A astronomical clock that shows current rotation rates of many pulars. And pictures, of course. upon satellite re-entry to Earth after 50,000 yrs. A thin coating on the satellite would produce an artificial aurora to give a signal of the satellite's re-entry. The satellite will not carry any communications or propulsion system.
