Adsum, an artwork for the Moon
Eduardo Kac
Adsum measures 0.4 x 04 x 0.4 in (1x1x1 cm) and weighs 0.08 ounces (2.5 grams) on Earth; it weighs 0.014 ounces (0.41 grams) on the Moon. It was published in an edition of five. In preparation to its flight to the Moon, the work flew to the ISS on February 19, 2022, on an Antares 230+ rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia. The Flight-Ready Adsum has orbited the Earth aboard the ISS for eleven months and returned to Earth on January 11, 2023, aboard a SpaceX Dragon 2 spacecraft, splashing down off the coast of Florida.
