i made a mixtape (well, md) yesterday with a theme that overlaps yours! the title of the md is trans, in the broadest meaning of the word (transport, transmission, transmutation, transetc...). some choices that may apply to your tape:

rod freeman & the blue men - i hear a new world
calla - elsewhere
grandaddy - jed the humanoid
dj shadow - you can't go home again
richard hell & the voidoids - another world (although this one doesn't work, it's a bit too long and meh)

I think Sun Ra's entire oeuvre is the definitive musical statement on outer space: On Jupiter, Pathways To Unknown Worlds, Friendly Galaxy, Next Stop Mars, Interplanetary Music, We Travel The Spaceways, Saturn, Tapestry From An Asteroid, Walkin' On The Moon, Theme Of The Stargazers. Or for just "Cosmic" music, there's: Cosmic Chaos, Cosmic Echoes, The Cosmic Explorer, Cosmo Dance, Cosmo Energy, Cosmo Enticement, Cosmo Sun Connection, Cosmo-Darkness, Cosmo-Extensions, The Cosmo-Fire, Cosmo-Media, Cosmo-Party Blues, Cosmonaut Astronaut Rendezvous...
