Does anybody know where replicas of the Pioneer & Voyager plaques are available? Saw these once on eBay offered by a guy in Australia... rolleyes.gif

If you've got lots of extra cash to burn, you can get a limited signed edition of some of the photographs and artwork created by Jon Lomberg for the Voyager Record:

The book " Murmurs of Earth - The Voyager Interstellar Record " by Carl Sagan did fine for me wink.gif

Is there a ' copy-right ' issue with the Pioneer plaque image?
( Some firms offer replicas of this plaque and I guess it might be copy-right Carl SAGAN ? ... if NASA there's no problem ? )

Not sure if there is, but I'm not going to find out the hard way smile.gif

Either they got the right probe with the wrong ETI message, or the right
ETI message with the wrong probe:

ljk4-1 that's a nice find, a PIONEER probe together with the VOYAGER laque/Disk wink.gif

Meanwhile I read somewhere that a small team of JPL scientists/engineers planned to add a plaque on the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft ... The project was known as the ' Diamond idea' ...
NASA and ESA initially liked the idea but it was cancelled sad.gif
and replaced by a CD-ROM with signatures of Space enthusiasts and descendants from the Cassini-family!

ESA's Rosetta comet probe contains a disc from the Long Now Foundation with 1,000
human languages on it for preservation:
