The podcast’s title comes from author and former NASA engineer Sunny Tsiao’s book, “Read You Loud and Clear,” which NASA published in 2008. Tsiao notes that NASA’s communications and tracking programs are often described as “invisible.” Infrastructures, he writes, are seldom recognized, except when they fall short.

If NASA’s networks are invisible, perhaps it’s because they work so well.

The goal of The Invisible Network is to engage listeners with overlooked technologies and advancements in a fresh, exciting way. The narrative format allows episodes to delve deeply into a topic, while uncovering the human side of space science and exploration. In the podcast, seemingly esoteric technologies become vital and personal pieces of NASA’s story – a rich legacy of continued innovation amongst the stars.
