Students of the Massachusetts Technology Group gathered to send a time capsule to Mars in 2017
A team of students at MIT, Stanford, Duke University, and the University of Connecticut will flood the audio and video of the seals from YouTube , photo and text messages into a time capsule and send them to Mars on a spacecraft based on the Cubesat microsatellites.
Fortunately, sending a time capsule is not the only goal of a mission, even with the name Time Capsule to Mars . First of all, it is an opportunity to experience new interplanetary flight technologies: the ship itself, made up of three 12-kilogram Cubesat satellites and plasma engines developed at MIT.
In case of a successful landing on Mars, the team will experience Internet technology for deep space and quartz data carriers , which theoretically can store terabytes of data for millions of years. They also plan to conduct experiments aimed at preparing the preservation of health by astronauts during future distant flights. In general, the ship is so crammed with innovations that it is hard to believe that it will take off.

The name of the project is intended to promote the idea of space flight a little bit: “to remind people that we are moving into space in order to promote humanity .”
The budget of the idea is estimated at $ 25 million, and many organizations are involved in its preparation, including NASA. If everything goes according to plan, the spacecraft of the project Time Capsule to Mars with the message of mankind to itself in the future will leave the Earth in 2017.
