Technology
Advanced preservation science that transforms ancient manuscripts into virtually indestructible lunar artifacts
The Qamar Codex employs cutting-edge materials science and precision engineering to create archives that will survive longer than human civilization itself. Using revolutionary lithographic techniques and space-grade materials, we transform fragile manuscripts into virtually indestructible time capsules.
Our nickel-substrate archives will remain readable for hundreds of thousands of years—longer than modern humans have existed on Earth.
Preservation Process
1.
High-Resolution Digitization
Each manuscript page is scanned at 1200 DPI using specialized equipment that captures every detail without damaging the original document.
2.
Digital Enhancement
Advanced image processing corrects for age-related degradation, optimizes contrast, and ensures maximum readability for long-term storage.
3.
Lithographic Etching
Revolutionary 300,000 DPI rotary lithography etches manuscript images directly onto pure nickel substrates with unprecedented precision.
4.
Quality Verification
Each etched page undergoes microscopic inspection to ensure perfect reproduction and long-term readability under magnification.
5.
Time Capsule Case
Enclosure in rectangular titanium or aluminum time capsule, ensuring long-duration protection from micrometeorite impacts.
Extraordinary Lithographic Precision
- 300.000 dpi Etching Resolution
- 2,500 Pages Per 28mm Square
- 0.1 Grams Weight Per Square
- 99.9% Pure Nickel Substrate
This resolution is so precise that individual letters occupy microscopic spaces while remaining perfectly readable under magnification—achieving lossless data compression through pure physics.
Corrosion Resistance
Pure nickel forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further corrosion, making it virtually immune to environmental degradation over geological timescales.
Corrosion Rate: <0.001 mm/year
Temperature Stability
Although temperature variations will be ameliorated by the titanium or aluminum time capsule casing, nickel maintains structural integrity across extreme temperature ranges, from the lunar night's -230°C to the sun-baked surface at +120°C.
Operating Range: -230°C to +120°C
Mechanical Durability
High tensile strength and excellent fatigue resistance ensure the etched information remains intact despite micrometeorite impacts and thermal cycling.
Tensile Strength: 400-500 MPa
Atomic Precision
The lithographic process creates features at the atomic level, ensuring that even microscopic details of manuscript calligraphy are preserved perfectly.
Feature Size: 0.1 micrometers
Lunar Time Capsule Engineering
Aluminum Housing
Precision-machined aluminum container provides structural protection and shields nickel substrates from direct environmental exposure
Vacuum Environment
Sealed within the lunar vacuum, eliminating oxidation and contamination risks that could affect long-term preservation
Thermal Stability
Aluminum housing provides shade and thermal mass, protecting contents from extreme lunar temperature fluctuations
Impact Protection
Robust aluminum construction shields archives from micrometeorite impacts and mechanical stresses during landing
Organization System
Internal mounting system organizes nickel squares for easy identification and access during future lunar missions
Lander Integration
Designed for seamless integration with lunar lander systems, easily locatable as part of the landing vehicle
Longevity Comparison
While traditional storage media degrade rapidly, our nickel-substrate archives are designed for geological timescales. To put this in perspective, these manuscripts will remain readable long after current civilizations have become ancient history.
