Stone-Etched Mission Summary

Stone Mission Summary Plate (Self-Standing)

The Stone Mission Summary Plate is a self-standing, 200-kilogram lunar basalt installation designed to preserve a permanent record of the Lunar Ark across a one-billion-year operational lifetime requiring zero watts of power. Produced as a set of five plates utilizing in-situ lunar basalt mechanically etched with diamond tooling, the hardware records mission origins, purpose, and timelines in multiple Earth languages, mathematical notations, and universal symbols. Positioned directly inside the habitat, these passive stone assemblies bypass the electronic degradation mechanisms and power dependencies inherent to active data systems, maintaining physical inscription stability without operational maintenance.
