Postcards To Space
Send a Note to the Cosmos!


 
How Postcards To Space works - Order, fill out, mail back, fly

Welcome to the Second Space Age. Postcards To Space is developing the world's first space sculpture. STREET will be a 325ft diameter ring made of Kapton, a space-rated plastic film. This craft is being developed by selling Postcard Kits, it is a micro-payment funded spacecraft. Order and fill out your Postcard, send it back and we'll print it on the craft during costruction. In flight the craft will digitally display your Postcard against the backdrop of Low Earth Orbit, photograph it and we'll host the images through this website. Watch as we demonstrate new project elements. Support P2S now and help make space art a reality. Help make this happen and your Postcards will eventually end up on Mars.

Postcards To Space exists to develop space-media opportunities for individuals, promote scientific knowledge and create public art in the new frontier. Postcards To Space is developing a series of giant inflatable rings made of plastic film and flying them in Low Earth Orbit and beyond, where they can be seen from your backyard and across the planet. Postcards will be digitally printed on the STREET ring and other spacecraft, shown on special displays and emailed back to you. Postcard sales are being used to design, build and fly these inflatable space sculptures. Help make space art.

Postcards To Space will attempt to fly your Postcard via one of several methods. We could fail. If Postcards To Space is not successful by December 31, 2010, full refunds will be offered.
