(We will be recording messages of love that will be sent on a satellite into space!)

In 1977 NASA launched Voyager 1, a space probe with a mission to study the outer solar system. Voyager 1, as well as every subsequent Voyager, carried a small disc titled Sounds of Earth carrying photos and audio of Earth, its lifeforms, as well as greetings in 55 languages. “Should the spacecraft ever be found by intelligent life from other planetary systems” this disc would serve as a representation of life on Earth.

From Earth With Love is a critical follow up to the Voyager mission. It will be a new showcase of the voices from around our planet, representing the diverse worlds within our world. We will send messages of love from Planet Earth on a CubeSat. The prototype will be displayed for participants to interact with.
