Elephant Juice
A Love Letter to the Cosmos
Inspired by the 1977 Voyager Golden Record, Elephant Juice allows you to encode a personal message into DNA and send it into orbit — creating a timeless legacy among the stars.
"Over four decades ago, the Voyager spacecraft left Earth carrying the Golden Record — it encapsulated the very essence of who we are. Elephant Juice builds on this legacy by allowing you to send a message of love that mirrors the Golden Record's journey."
Encode Your Message
Your personal message is converted into a DNA sequence using advanced encoding techniques, embedding it within the fundamental building blocks of life.
Synthesize & Preserve
The DNA-encoded message is synthesized and carefully preserved in a specialized payload capsule, developed with XexiconSat.
Launch to Orbit
Your message travels aboard DECIMAL-SAT1, deployed into low Earth orbit via SpaceX Falcon 9, orbiting our planet as an eternal testament.
DNA Storage Technology
DNA encoding is an advanced method of information storage, where your message is encoded into a DNA sequence — creating a highly secure, irreversible form of data preservation.
Social Impact
Every participation in Elephant Juice helps fund NGOs aimed at helping children reach their full potential — making space exploration a force for good.
