SpaceChain DSI Strengthens Alliance Consortium through Partnership with Exobotics
With more entities venturing their interests through independent efforts towards the commercialisation of outer space, participants are still very much single vendor, single purpose entities ━ not networked to other spacecraft ━ which results in inefficient allocation of resources.
SpaceChain’s Decentralised Satellite Infrastructure (DSI) was conceived to bridge this gap by bolstering the efficient allocation of resources across the space industry. The network’s backbone is made up of collaborative satellite constellations through a mesh-network of heterogeneous spacecraft owned and operated in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) by multiple parties in multiple jurisdictions.
At the very heart of this network is our Alliance Consortium, created to maintain trust among the space industry as well as to follow a unified standard means of communication to enable flexible and efficient information routing for all participants.
These partners’ spacecrafts may join or depart the constellation at any time via a blockchain registry as long as they meet minimal economic, technical, and regulatory requirements sufficient to ensure the long term health and resilience of the constellation. Via a ground Blockchain network, users could order the service directly from any participating satellites at any time and locations. The payment of that service is simultaneously processed.
Exobotics’ lunar exploration platform meets SpaceChain’s blockchain tech
SpaceChain is pleased to welcome Exobotics to our Alliance Consortium. The UK-based startup will further reduce the barriers to entry through facilitating low-cost explorations to outer space by leveraging its software and hardware that is scalable, modular and tuned for the challenges of operation in extra-orbital environments.
The partnership will see the Exobotics lunar exploration platform leverage SpaceChain’s blockchain technology by hosting one of our nodes in a ride-sharing agreement. It will also take advantage of our OS during its space missions and join our Decentralised Satellite Infrastructure constellation — leveraging its own Commercial Off-the-Shelf Solutions (COTS) for low earth orbit to provide consumers with faster Internet speeds as well as reliable connections at lower costs.
SpaceChain’s Chief Commercial Officer and UK Director Nick Trudgen feels that Exobotics joining the Alliance Consortium will “only strengthen our aim of increasing accessibility to outer space, both on the developer as well as on the consumer level”.
Exobotics to take space exploration to a whole new level
Developers of the world’s first modular roving platform, Exobotics, reduces barriers to entry across the space arena by offering low-cost, high-performance solutions for lunar operation. The company’s platform also enables the exchange of one-off $1B missions for hundreds of $1M missions, attracting a wider talent-pool and fostering a new age of extra-orbital innovation.
Exobotics has also developed its own proprietary technology that is fully compatible with the most accessible and popular industrial spacecraft standard, the cubesat standard. This has the added advantage of being integrated with all current lunar landers, having a higher payload mass/volume fraction at a lower mass than any alternative solution in the market. The technology provides a flexible, cost-effective market entry at lower complexity and lead time than other players in the field.
According to Exobotics’ Director and Hardware Engineer Nadeem Gabbani: “Our team has been extremely focused on expanding our vision to democratising space by lowering barriers to entry. We feel that this primary driver is aligned with SpaceChain’s community-based space platform model, we’re looking forward to leveraging SpaceChain’s Alliance Consortium and towards a strong working relationship”.
Moving forward, SpaceChain will be adding a host of applicable partners to its Consortium, taking steps toward creating next-generation infrastructure through the honing of more talent, developing more use-cases, and bringing more business opportunities to the space industry.
