The record itself is an ordinary phonograph disc, but the cover is not: it carries an engraved diagram explaining how to play the record, where the spacecraft came from and what the two hydrogen states are, all in symbols meant to be readable by someone with no shared language at all.
The mesh is light at 5,504 polygons and 2,754 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, with the geometry in the disc, the cover plate and the engraved relief.
At $24 and built to StemCell specification, it suits space and science communication, museum and exhibition material, documentary and education content, editorial illustration, print and games. On sale since 2024.
