LAGEOS 1 is one of the two LAGEOS (LAzer GEOdynamics Sattelite) sattelites designed to study the movement of continents with minute precision using reflected light from hundreds of reflectors on its surface...
But that is not what I want to focus on. LAGEOS 1 contains a plaque, in part designed by Carl Sagan. The plaque is one of the many artifacts that are manmade designed to be "proofs" of our existence for future generations, or perhaps future civilizations or even aliens if they ever come in contact with one of those (the Pioneer plaque, the Golden Record etc.).
This is how it looks like if you don't know:
More info about the plaque: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAGEOS#Time_capsule
I was trying to find any more information about the plaque other than what it represents but I didn't find by myself any other valuable info. What info exactly?
I would like to know how the plaque is positioned inside the satellite. That is in which compartment it is placed and how it is placed inside (I assume inside since LAGEOS 1 is spherical while the plaque is mostly likely a flat plane).
Can anyone of you provide me with the position of the plaque inside LAGEOS 1?
