launch it.”
Tebbe, who is also leading a team
charged with the satellite’s altitude
and
power
control,
replaced
Climate and Space Prof. Thomas
Zurbuchen as the program leader
following his departure last month
to accept a role as head of the NASA
Science Mission Directorate.
The capsule itself, according
to M-BARC, will be a total of
3,000 cubic centimeters and will
include a roughly equal space for
propulsion hardware, payload and
communications equipment.
“The time capsule will be a 3U
CubeSat which has the dimensions
of 30x10x10 cm,” Tebbe wrote. “1/3
of the volume will be taken up by
the propulsion device which will
enable us to position ourselves in a
legal and stable orbit after the initial
insertion from the launch vehicle.
Another third of the spacecraft
will be taken up by the control and
communications systems which
will allow the satellite to orient
itself and confirm its position early
in its life. The last third will include
the payload and retroreflectors.”
The capsule will contain a
record of student and faculty
interviews, a sample of DNA that
will test the molecule’s long-term
durability and a physical artifact
from the University.
“The first piece we are including
is a silicon data chip created by the
Lurie Nanofabrication Facility that
will contain the transcriptions
and possibly the recordings of
approximately 1,000 University of
Michigan affiliate,” Tebbe wrote.
“We’ll be interviewing students,
staff, faculty, alumni and those
who work at or have worked at the
University in any capacity.”
These interviews will be aimed
at highlighting the life of the
average University affiliate.
“We want to use the interviews
to create a snapshot of the
University as it exists right now,”
he wrote. “The main goal of the
interviews is to not cherry pick the
best parts so that we can provide
the most accurate depiction of day-
to-day life at the University.”
Engineering senior Samidha
Visai,
who
works
on
funds
management and public outreach
with
M-BARC,
likened
the
interviews to a portrait in time at
the University.
“We want to interview the
faculty working hard in the MoJo
cafeteria, we want to interview the
Dean of Engineering, we want to
interview alumni,” she said. “We
want to provide deep and personal
interviews of a variety of people’s
raw experiences living in 2017 and
within the (University) ecosystem
for those who will read the stories
in 100 years.”
The DNA sample that will be
included will be slightly altered to
reflect school spirit, Tebbe said —
it has been encoded to contain the
University’s Alma Mater song.
The
encoding,
according
to Visai, is an experiment that
will be completed by University
researchers in the future.
“(The capsule contains a) DNA
radiation experiment such that
scientists in 100 years will be able to
examine long-term space radiation
effects on a human,” Visai said.
The final part of the payload will
be a secret from the public until
next year when the time capsule
is officially unveiled to the public.
However, both Visai and Tebbe
said it will be an object or piece of
artwork from the University.
This
project’s
purpose,
according to Visai, is to honor the
University’s bicentennial as well
as its history and future in space
science.
“We want to see a true
celebration of everyone who is
a part of our University,” Visai
said. “Not just the leadership, not
just the athletes, not just stellar
students. We want everyone who
is a part of our University to feel
like this is a celebration of our
community, a community that
they have impacted. We want this
to be exciting and something to
remember for everyone involved
with Michigan in 2017 and going
forward, as well as alumni.”
The spacecraft is slated to
be sealed in fall 2017 with an
accompanying
dedication
and
unveiling ceremony.
“We are currently working on a
NASA proposal that would grant
us a free launch for our system,”
Tebbe wrote. “We have had luck in
the past with launch proposals and
won a free ULA launch for a test
version of the time capsule that will
likely launch in spring/summer
of 2017. However, even if we don’t
receive a free launch for the time
capsule, we are working with
multiple launch providers who
have availabilities in 2018/2019 for
our launch.”
