Mars Signal Decoded: Father-Daughter Duo Unravel Mysterious Message in Groundbreaking ESA Project
In 2023, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter sent a signal to Earth as part of the ‘A Sign in Space’ project. The message, picked up by observatories in the US and Italy, became a global citizen science effort involving 5,000 participants via Discord chat to extract and analyse the raw data.
Decoding the signal, which included visual representations of amino acids—key building blocks of life—was achieved by Ken and Keli Chaffin, a father-daughter duo who used intuition and simulations to crack the code. The challenge now lies in interpreting the signal’s true meaning as citizen scientists continue to explore its hidden significance.
The project, a simulation of interstellar communication, underscores the potential of collective human ingenuity in uncovering cosmic mysteries.
