Jason Achilles worked with NASA to design a microphone for the Mars Perseverance rover. In this multi-dimensional and inspirational show, Jason shares personal experiences with NASA, recordings from the Martian surface, high resolution audio-video of rocket launches and his own soundscapes set to immersive dome video and animation. 

“Jason has many talents that come together in a uniquely engaging way,” says Mike Murray, astronomer and planetarium manager. “His passion for sharing experiences through science, immersive visuals and music is truly inspiring. We are honored and thrilled to be a collaborator on this project,” adds Murray.

Admission is $10 for adults and $7 for children 3-18, seniors, students and military. Tickets may be purchased online. For more information, visit the planetarium’s website or call 989-667-2260.

Touring multi-instrumentalist Jason Achilles divides his time between live performance, record production, orchestral composition, public speaking events from coast to coast... and a healthy 'side gig' as an aerospace innovator having been featured prominently in WIRED Magazine, television news programs, radio and multiple appearances on Canadian CBC Radio.  His full bio can be found at https://jasonachilles.com/epk/.
