Voyager Golden Record sent out to space in 1977 with the Voyager space probes had a symbolic character and it was a universal message on spacecraft destined to leave the Solar system that could be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find it. NASA entrusted well-known astronomer Carl Sagan to send information about the Earth inhabitants and their cultures to the extraterrestrial life. Sagan chose pieces of the national music of 27 countries and sent it out together with greetings in 52 languages, including English, Russian, Turkish and others.

Sagan added the compositions of Bach and Mozart, as well as the piece of Azerbaijani mugam played in balaban, national wind instrument to the data base of space probe. According to the last reports, the mugam piece carried by the Voyager probe left the Solar system in 2008.
