The laser system developed for the Memory of Mankind project (MOM) was successfully delivered to Vienna. Here, the actual work will start.
The system will enable to write the data on ceramic tablets stored for a million years later on.
MOM is the project created to preserve today’s stories to give the future to the past. The digital age carries with it the risk that records will either become swiftly illegible or vanish.
Thus MOM has developed ceramic data carriers which conserve analog text and images for unlimited intervals of time.
There will be 2 different methods for data used:
Workshop of Photonics delivered system will help deal with the second one – write down the data to ceramic tablets. A book on Ceramic Microfilm requires 1/200 of the volume compared to the printed version.
An archive that claims to persist for 1 million years must be protected from natural and non-natural influences. The MOM archive is located 2 km deep inside the salt deposit beneath the mountain Plassen in Hallstatt, Austria.
The geology of the mountain will allow the MOM archive to fully close itself by a natural phenomenon: the salt “flows” with a speed of 2 cm/year into any void. This will protect the archive from the greatest threat; man himself.
