"This fusion of art and technology which is the essence of the project KEO, the archeological bird of the future, and most certainly its humanitarian dimension are the two aspects of this project that impressed me immediately. Nothing can be more sublime than participating in this adventure.
The work of INTESPACE is to reproduce the same hostile environment that any space object may encounter during its launch and its life on orbit. Thus it was only natural that INTESPACE participates in this adventure by executing several weeks of trial of the environment that would allow KEO to accomplish its mission of 50,000 years.
For a technological company like INTESPACE, this association represents an opportunity to give the technicians, which we are, the chance to transcend our work in some sort and to federate our efforts. Thus we can develop our know-how as a test center by effectuating environmental, mechanical, thermal and electronic trials on the satellite KEO so that it can realize its missions.
By this voluntary action, we would also like to display that despite the severe conditions that exist in reality in the commercial world to which we have to adapt, there is always some space for dreams and humanity in our adventure."
