The Earth’s magnetic field acts like a giant instrument playing magnetic music.
As technology advances, tiny satellites no bigger than a loaf of bread have advanced from just proving they work to being big contributors in answering science questions.
Far from being “politicised science”, as a Trump advisor has claimed, NASA’s satellite monitoring has been a crucial help in understanding the planet we live on.
Listen to some weird space sounds and help identify crunches, whistles and other odd effects. It could help save our satellites.
Asgardia is calling for unrestricted research but history has given us many examples where this has resulted in unacceptable consequences.
The Micius satellite will encrypt data using fundamental laws of physics rather than crackable codes.
