The Voyager 1 and 2 missions featured some of the most ambitious unmanned
spacecraft to ever be launched into space. As part of this program, the probes carried
"golden records” (similar to grooved vinyl LPs played back using a stylus) containing
“The Sounds of Earth.”
The contents of the record were selected for NASA by a committee chaired by Dr. Carl
Sagan of Cornell University. The covers of the “golden records” were designed to
protect the record from micrometeorite bombardment. They also provided the eventual
finder a key to playing the record. (Assuming that some advanced alien society would
have record players; they are hard-enough to find now, here on Earth…)
Artifactory brings you an exact replica of these famous interstellar “welcome signs”. Our
replica is machined from metal alloy sheet and features all of the correct engraved
markings. A detailed “prop story” accompanies each replica, explaining the meanings of
all of these markings.
