Project Calliope is a home-built satellite, launcing in 2012 (we hope) to convert the ionosphere (where auroras occur) into sound so we can hear on Earth just how active space is.  The data will be sent down as MIDI data via amateur ham radio for anyone to hear, and we'll make it available to musicians as royalty-free MIDI tracks to use, reuse and remix into cool music.  I like the idea of flying something in space whose purpose is to make music until it dies-- music from science.

We're in a new space age-- be part of it.

Stay tuned!  You can follow us on twitter @skyday and from our regular blog on Science 2.0's 'Satellite Diaries', join our announcements email list 'calliope-news@yahoogroups.com.
