When the Pioneer Spacecraft was being designed for its long voyage
to Jupiter and beyond, scientists realized that even after Pioneer ran
out of energy it would continue to drift through space forever. There is
a chance that someday in the future it wil be found by some form of
intelligent life far out in our galaxy. The scientists designed a message
that was incscribed on a metal plaque and attached to the side of Pioneer.
It contained information on where the Pioneer came from, who
sent it and what its creators were like
The purpose of this assignment is for you to design a message
of your own that you would have attached to Pioneer. Remember though, you
are not allowed to use words and letters because whatever form of life
finds Pioneer, it will nto understand any of the languages on earth. You
have to find other methods of getting the message across.
Put your message on a standard blank sheet of paper. It will be
graded on originality, creativeness, and effort.
Below is an outline of what the Pioneer spacecraft looked like.
