BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
A breakthrough in space and satellite infrastructure integration
SpaceChain has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully integrating distributed infrastructure with space and satellite systems. Collaborating with Addvalue Innovation and Alba Orbital under the Eureka Eurostars program, SpaceChain demonstrated real-time cross-company collaboration. This achievement allows users to order space services directly from Alba Orbital through the SpaceChain server and the Inter-Satellite Data Relay System (IDRS) on a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite by Addvalue.
This accomplishment represents a significant stride towards realizing SpaceChain’s Decentralized Satellite Infrastructure (DSI) vision, set to become operational by 2025. Francis Low, Addvalue’s CTO, lauded the collaborative effort, setting a new standard for cross-industry partnerships. The SpaceChain DSI aims to be the world’s first open, multi-vendor, multi-purpose satellite network, offering compelling advantages for business innovation in space.
Ziheng Xiang, SpaceChain’s Director of Technology, emphasized that the DSI infrastructure supports a heterogeneous satellite constellation, providing secure and cost-effective solutions for various space applications.
