45 years ago, the skeletal remains of Lucy, now considered “the mother of humanity”, as it is the oldest known skeleton and has given us many clues about human evolution. For this, the NASA christening Lucy to the mission which, on October 16, will be launched towards the Trojan Asteroids and the Space Agency is looking for musicians, artists or singers who can create a specific piece of music for this mission (we include song for inspiration).
The nave Lucy He will take many, many cameras with him to places we never thought we could go: the Trojan Asteroids that can give us great clues about the formation of the giant planets of our Solar System, like Jupiter.

The team of scientists composed (and adopted) three notes as a symbolic “musical patch”, but seek to integrate original music, whether composed or improvised, instrumental or vocal, that uses these notes to tell an inspirational story throughout the Mission Lucy.
So if you dare, your composition could travel millions of kilometers through space to discover about the history of our Solar System.

Music for NASA?
The idea is that those who wish to participate use these three notes as the basis for creating a unique composition.
“Through the combined creativity of the participating artists, all from the same three notes, the soundscape has the potential to become an evolving musical ecosystem ”, says the NASA invitation to participate.

The only three prompts to participate are:
- It must be original music created by you, no remixes and it must not be material with copyright.
- You should use the Lucy’s motive (the previous three notes) somehow, yeah, that sound as is. And it should be in a common and easily accessible file (like mp3).
- It needs to be appropriate with the project concept. It should not be obscene or political content. They will be the NASA and the Southwest Research Institute the institutions that determine whether a material is appropriate or not.

To participate, you can upload your creation to your personal social networks with the hashtag #NASALucySoundscape, doing that means you are according to the Terms and Conditions competition.
No specific musical style is sought, the only thing is that it complies with the three main indications to be able to participate and, possibly, the NASA include the piece in your music library that you use for your videos and events, or even on Lucy’s mission itself.
If your creation is chosen, NASA will notify you and give you credit for your work.

What will Mission Lucy do?
The mission, which will be Released Oct 16, 2021, will take cameras to places we have never seen with our eyes: the Trojan Asteroids, which are remnants of the formation of the giant planets.
The mission will last 12 years and will visit these huge formations of red that can tell us many details about our Solar System and its origins.
The NASA explains that, generally, Trojan Asteroids are pushed away by the huge gas planets (like Jupiter and Saturn), but in the case of our Solar System, the gravitational influence of our fellow giant planets caught these rocks in a stable orbit formed millions of years ago.

What Lucy will do is fly towards seven different asteroids to collect geological information, composition and color of each one (this will tell us about the minerals, ice and their biological formation), what they are like inside, among other things.
