NASA indeed has launched an online radio station, but they’re not broadcasting from space though. It’s called Third Rock Radio and the slogan goes “America’s Space Station.”

The radio station runs on a rock and alternative format showcasing rocks from independent artists.

The said project is a collaboration between RFC Media and the NASA.

“NASA constantly is looking for new and innovative ways to engage the public and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers,” said David Weaver, associate administrator for NASA’s Office of Communications, in a statement.

“On THIRD ROCK, you’ll hear New Rock of all kinds, including a whole galaxy full of new music that seems to go largely unexplored by ordinary radio.” – RFC Media Website.

Third Rock Radio can be heard via the NASA website or at RFC’s website.
