EV-109B · Briefing

There are 17,957 dead things in orbit. You may have one.

Every object in this catalog is real — a spent rocket body or defunct satellite, tracked by the public space-surveillance network, still circling Earth at roughly seven kilometers per second. None of them work anymore. None are coming down soon. EV-109B assigns one of them to carry a message of your choosing.

EV-109B · Assignment

Permanent. Exclusive. First-come.

When you assign a message, one object is removed from the available catalog and bound to you. The same booster is never issued twice. You receive its NORAD catalog number, its last known coordinates, and a certificate of assignment. The object goes on carrying your words on every pass — in a voice it has held since launch.

EV-109B · Protocol
  1. The catalog is finite. When it is gone, it is gone.
  2. Objects are issued in the order requested, once each.
  3. An assignment confers a number, a coordinate, and a record. It confers nothing else.
  4. Reentry is inevitable. The object will burn. The certificate will not.

A coordinate in the sky is still a coordinate.

Whether it means anything is not EV-109B’s determination to make.
