moonbell : listening to the topography of the moon.

Lunar orbiting satellite Kaguya (SELENE) was launched from Tanegashima Space Center on September 14, 2007 at 10:31am.

Kaguya is currently orbiting the moon, taking observations of the lunar surface with 14 different sensors.

moonbell uses data from one of those sensors, a laser altimeter, or LALT, transforming the altitude data into musical intervals.
