National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, Maryland, 20771 Ms. Corinne Ben Sasson Institute of Petroleum Reserves & Geophysic's Seismological Division P.O. Box 2286, Holon, 58122 ISRAEL March 23, 1992 Dear Ms. Ben-Sasson, It is a pleasure to notify you of our intent to participate in the "Intergalacfic Sculpture"/ ISY event scheduled for April 27, 1992. Those NASA Satelite Laser Ranging stations that are operating on normal shift during this event will participate. Specific details identifying the stations that will be able to participate will be provided as soon as possible. Sincerely, Lawrence S. Jassie Sattelite Laser Ranging Manager Crustal Dynamics Project cc: J. Bosworth/901 JDegnan/901 H. Crooks/BFEC A. Murdoch/BFEC W. Decker/BEFC C.Reigber/DGFI |

| BACKGROUND | |||||||
|
This stage began with the launching of a thin laser beam, vertically to the plain of the Milky Way, from Tel-Hai, Northern Galilee - 24.9.1987. On the night of June 22nd, 1989, an energy beam was launched from the satelite laser ranging station of Bar-Giora, near Jerusalem, sponsored by the israel Museum and the Israel Space Agency - The launch, 55 minutes, 33 seconds long - sent a 'SUPER OBELISK'- billion km. tall, at the speed of light, vertically to the plain of the Milky Way. This is the departure of sculpture from its visual, tangible history into an unseen sphere of energy entities It is a departure from MATTER and MASS to which sculpture has been bound from prehistory onward - to an unseen, imperceivable sphere of huge energetic entities, cruising at the speed of light, through the intergalactic vastness. The beam lost a quarter of its power while breaking through the atmosphere; Within 5 hours it was out of the solar system, passing the Voyager 2 spacecraft, which had been launched 29.7.1977 - - on to cosmic infinity - - - The third launch, on April 27th 1992 - as part of the International Space Year activities - sent a billion km. 'SUPER CATHEDRAL I'- roofless, soaring at the speed of light, vertically to the gravity plain of the Milky Way - The 'Super Cathedral I'was launched simultaneously, by the European Wegener Satelite Laser Ranging stations at Bar-Giora, Israel; Helwan, Egypt; Simeiz, Zvengorod, Russia; Graz, Austria; Wettzel, Postdam, Germany. A Super-Shaft of parallel energy beams - Intergalactic Architecture - toward the infinity of universes - - It is now eight light years from here - - - |

On the year 2000 - the end of this millenium, on the night of April 16 - we proposed to launch from all Laser Ranging Network stations - SUPER- CATHEDRAL 2- vertically to the plane of the Milky Way -
