Aug 27 — DRC shared an article published by Space.com on “How Blockchain Can Change the Space Industry”. Key highlights from the article are as follows:
“The space sector can also give an important contribution for the development and wider use of blockchain, notably through the use of satellites as nodes in the chain — either as participating nodes that store data, or validating nodes that validate and add data,” Mendonça said in the email.”In this case, you can use satellites to receive, store and broadcast blockchain data and apps. Hence, the satellite networks can be used as the infrastructure where you store data and through which you perform transactions.”
“Currently, there is no public [satellite] database,” Ravichandran said, “and the only one is owned by the US Air Force. Hence, this database is pretty crucial, and the fact that it is decentralized allows for a neutral, unbiased place for getting the positions of the satellites in-orbit.”
