Itโ€™s been 18 years since this Beatles classic was beamed across space as an Interstellar Radio Message towards the star Polaris. John Lennonโ€™s lyrics summarised our feelings for space and music perfectly: โ€œlimitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns.โ€

ESTECโ€™s LEAF was built to test whether instruments and spacecraft can withstand the sustained sounds of a launch. Our ovomorph held up pretty well at the Open Day, too.

What do Iron Maidenโ€™s Bruce Dickinson, extreme icons Napalm Death and the cold expanses of space have in common? A new documentary featuring music from some of metalโ€™s finest Seas Of The Sun: The Story Of The Cluster Mission is about the European Space Agency and their 24-year-long study of space plasma

We're delighted to see Seas Of The Sun making waves in the press! @esa.int

Music and sound didnโ€™t just play an integral role in the making of our new film. Spend any time reading the lyrics to Navigate the Seas of the Sun by Bruce Dickinson and youโ€™ll see why we thought it was a perfect choice.

Last year, Shane Embury visited ESTEC in the Netherlands for a special tour of the technical heart of the European Space Agency, which sparked a fantastic collaboration with Klaus Nielsen, aka Maple Pools, for our Cluster documentary, Seas Of The Sun...

Sound and music played a huge role in the making of Seas Of The Sun, with Karlotta Skagfield's beautiful original score at its heart, accompanied by a wonderful contribution from cello supremo Jo Quail. Watch (and hear) it now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go_r...

Taking a moment to remember a very special Earthling -- Laika, the first creature to orbit the Earth, on the 68th anniversary of her voyage aboard Sputnik 2. By all accounts, she was a very good girl.
