“Villanova University College of Engineering”, in partnership with “Teachers in Space”, has announced the “Serenity” educational satellite. It will be the first to use Ethereum-based blockchain for inter-satellite communication on Earth orbit without ground stations’ involvement. The first ever blockchain-based communication is set to happen after the “Firefly Aerospace Alpha” launch on November 20th, and the vehicle is booked for 30 days of experiment.
We in Ternion are enthusiastically awaiting the result. The potential of blockchain in space appears to be huge, and it might open a whole new chapter in space exploration.
