Demonstrating the emerging accessibility of space, not to mention its prospects as a media platform. Another update to Project Calliope has been posted. Here's the description:

It'll be an ionospheric detector transmitting sonifiable data back to Earth for web streaming and remixing. Conceptually, it's a musical instrument in space, played by space rather than just after-the-fact sonified. I like the idea of flying something in space whose purpose is to make music until it dies-- music from science.

The project will go to space as a Tubesat.
