A SpaceX rocket will launch a coffee mug sized satellite into orbit providing an impossible-to-tamper-with cryptographic platform from which blockchains can be launched.
Other applications for the module include the possible deployment of an entire blockchain, having the ledger out of reach from attackers could mean crypto mining could becomes a relic of the past as it would theoretically no longer need decentralization through multiple validators.have the incentive and ability to gain access to Earth based modules, however the technology to capture and tamper with a satellite isn’t available.
“We’ve seen a great boom in blockchain technology in recent years, and we can provide these services out in space. What we hope is to be able to service the blockchain industry and provide these modules that everybody can count on with a level of security that is unprecedented.”Satellite communication with the ground is a sticking point for any organization with an asset in orbit, as uploading data from Earth is slow.
“Working with a space asset is not the same as working here on Earth,” he added, “on the ground if something goes wrong you just open a terminal and debug it, when that’s in space that's not always available.” “It goes around the Earth, we start debugging, we figure out the problem, now we need to wait an hour and a half until it comes back around.”
He said bridging the gap between what people are used to in terms of fast internet communication and the constraints of space is an ongoing effort which started with a series of experiments the firm conducted on the International Space Station earlier this year.
