ARTEMIS SPACE NETWORK
Enabling a digital space economy by connecting creators, collectors and communities to accessible, participatory and meaningful space experiences.
Artemis Space Network, developed by Artemis Music Entertainment Inc., is a space-based globally accessible commercial platform for art, music and entertainment media enabling artists, producers, creators, curators and their communities to connect musical and artistic works to the inspiration, perspective and opportunity of outer space.
GLOBAL SECURE ACCESS
Combined with blockchain technology that preserves the uniqueness and provenance of underlying rights and intellectual property, the Artemis Space Network allows the creation and transmission of space-flown creative works that directly connects creators, curators and communities anywhere in the world.
CREATING A DIGITAL SPACE ECONOMY
As human society ventures into space, enabled by science and technology, we also carry with us all that makes us human. The Artemis Space Network enables new frontiers of opportunity for creators, curators and brands to design their own digital space missions, allowing them to share and monetize their creative works with global communities of fans, patrons, collectors and investors.
SPACE IS FOR EVERYBODY
We believe that space is for everybody. Our goal is to enable a digital space economy, making the thrill of space experiences accessible, participatory and meaningful to everyone with a mobile phone.

THE FIRST NFT* MUSIC AND ARTWORK IN SPACE
On July 28th, 2021, we beamed the first NFT Music and Artwork to the International Space Station.
For our first test transmission of the Artemis Space Network to the International Space Station (ISS), we beamed a specially commissioned performance of Debussy's timeless masterpiece Clair de Lune ('Moonlight'). Traveling approximately 125,000 miles through space including a full orbit around the Earth, passing over many countries and much of the Earth's population with embedded messages of hope, unity, peace and beauty. The space-flown music was beamed back down to Earth for minting into historic collections of NFTs that will be made available for gifting or purchase on globally accessible marketplaces, with proceeds supporting the empowerment of young artists, creators, and musicians and global humanitarian causes through the Artemis Music Foundation, the support of kids at risk through the i.am Angel Foundation, and the support of kids and their families affected by pediatric cancer through the Yuri's Night Cosmic Odyssey Scholarship.
Included in the network test was a specially created artwork by Micah Johnson based on his aspirational digital character Aku, a young Black boy who dreams of becoming an astronaut, becoming the first-ever NFT artwork to reach outer space. "Why Not Me" was listed for sale on Notables on August 10th and sold the next day for $60K, with net proceeds going to the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS), a non-profit international student organization that promotes space exploration and development through STEM projects.
The Artemis Space Network ISS node is made possible through our partnership with Nanoracks, a leading global provider of commercial space services that provided the first permanent, privately owned and funded, commercial infrastructure to the International Space Station. The company’s “Bishop” airlock, attached to the ISS in December 2020, was the host of the Clair de Lune and special artwork digital payloads as they orbited Earth following transmission from the Nanoracks mission control center in Houston, Texas.

CLAIR DE LUNE ('MOONLIGHT')
This special rendition of Debussy's Clair de Lune (‘Moonlight’), commissioned by Artemis Music LLC and performed by internationally renowned pianist Wing-Chong Kam, was beamed into space and orbited the Earth aboard the International Space Station on July 28th, 2021, in commemoration of the timeless beauty of Claude Debussy's masterpiece and in celebration of the unity of music for all humankind.
The cosmic perspective of space inspires a cognitive shift in humans. Debussy’s Clair de Lune perhaps comes as close as possible to stirring the emotions of awe and wonder experienced by space travelers.
The universe is full of music, and we humans are learning how to use music to not only understand the science of the universe, but to grasp our place in it.
“Music is what happens in the space between the notes.”
Claude Debussy
For the world. Enjoy.
AKU (THE MOON GOD) "WHY NOT ME?"
In the first ever transmission of commercial NFT files into space, the original NFT artwork “Why Not Me” containing the aspirational character ‘Aku’ created by renowned artist Micah Johnson was beamed up to the International Space Station (ISS) and back to Earth on July 28th as part of a commercial communications test performed for the Artemis Space Network, operated by Artemis Music LLC of Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The digital NFT source files were beamed into space from Houston, Texas, and relayed by a constellation of satellites to commercial servers resident aboard the International Space Station. Following authentication of the files in Earth orbit, they were then transmitted back down to Earth and relayed back to the mission control center, and minted as authenticated NFT’s. The total journey of the NFT files was approximately 125,000 miles including a full Earth orbit.
“Why Not Me” was sold on the Notables platform on August 11th for ~$60K with net proceeds going to ’Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS)’, a non-profit student led international organization promoting and enabling youth involvement in space inspired STEM education and research.
