The Orbit Pavilion by StudioKCA.

Some 500 miles above Earth, a cluster of satellites float, collect, and transmit data from space. They gather valuable information on the planet's oceans and atmosphere and beam it down to the scientists at NASA.

Down on the ground, we're relatively oblivious to all this. A new art exhibit from NASA and Brooklyn architecture firm StudioKCA gives us the opportunity to experience the sounds of the satellites first-hand.
