Cardiff (AP) - British musician Sally Robinson (22) will soon reach the stars with a song about space.
The artist from Cardiff told the PA news agency that her song "Moonlit Skies" will be sent to the International Space Station at the instigation of US astronaut Scott Kelly.
"I can hardly believe it."
Kelly wrote to her: "This is really cool, I'm sending it to the ISS."
The song published today has already been played in research facilities at the South and North Poles.
It is part of a series of songs about the elements air, earth, fire and water, said the student, who describes her music as the “indie side of folk”.
Your goal is that the songs are played in a corresponding environment.
"The next couple represents the earth and will go to scientific research institutes for the rainforest and the deserts."
With the project Robinson wants to combine her interest in music and science and show that scientists are normal people who are also interested in music.

On the ISS, musical projects have repeatedly caused a sensation.
The German spaceman Thomas Reiter played the guitar at a height of 400 kilometers.
The Canadian Chris Hadfield even made it into the Guinness Book of Records when he sang the David Bowie hit “Space Oddity” on the ISS and shot the first music video in space.
