We have a legacy of visual images at "Mars as Art" (2006), and even a thesis explaining more about Exoart by Australian Trevor Rodwell (2011). "Exoart is a new form of artistic expression based on a close interaction with space science and cultural engagement. There are no current art theories that encompass all aspects of Exoart; however, Exoart is not without a historical base. It can be viewed as having close conceptual links with contemporary Land Art which itself is, in part, derived from ancient land markings and interventions" (Rodwell 2011, p. 47).
"Mars Music" seems to be lagging behind the visual arts and still imaginary for many people. It could be timely for enterprising composers and electroacoustic artists to explore the tangible visual images that are now available and to use them as a resource for making music.

Encyclopedia of Creativity
This is how ' Music' is described by Michael Lowis in the Encyclopedia of Creativity (2011, 166):
"Music is structured sound. It communicates emotion, sometimes profoundly, and has a long history, perhaps predating speech. Music comprises rhythm, melody, and harmony, the latter being based on established physical laws. It can be used in therapy to help interact with people with physical, mental, and social difficulties, and there is evidence that it can help control pain. Music may also enhance certain cognitive abilities, and research has shown that musical training, especially in children, can help the creative process in other disciplines."

Cambridge Aerospace Dictionary
Cambridge Aerospace Dictionary (2004), "This dictionary is an essential tool for people who must read and understand technical content regarding the aerospace industry and specific aircraft." I checked the terms 'musical,' and 'music,' but still none the wiser.
Musical: Musical Prefix to marking techniques denoting Oboe guidance (RAF 1943-45).
Music 1 Multiple signal classification. 2 Multi-spectral IRCM.
Music EW emissions, esp. jamming (colloq.).
