Directed, produced and created by “experience designer” Nelly Ben Hayoun, the International Space Orchestra (ISO) is composed of a team of space scientists from the NASA Ames Research Center and SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Life.) In August of this year, ISO’s Ground Control: An Opera in Space – fronted by Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn and recorded at George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch – launched into space on board two ArduSat satellites.
