The following table is a summary of some of the blockchain projects using satellite data from 2017 – 2025:
| Organization | Blockchain Project | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Blockstream | Founded in 2014, Blockstream’s mission has been to strengthen the Bitcoin ecosystem and improve the Bitcoin protocol through innovation and infrastructure. They are best known for their cutting-edge work in Bitcoin scalability, security, and decentralization. Blockstream launched a satellite network that broadcasts the Bitcoin blockchain around the globe. This service ensures Bitcoin access even without internet connectivity. Peer-to-peer, open-network finance | 2017 – 2025 |
| SpaceChain | Launch Satellite System based on Blockchain, launched testbed for blockchain signature authentication on board ISS (via Nanoracks), successfully executed first blockchain transaction in space, completing milestone with ESA. Today, Spacechain designs creative solutions for businesses using its blockchain and space expertise, including decentralized satellite infrastructure. | 2018 2019 2020 – 2025 |
| European Space Agency (ESA) | White Paper for Space 4.0 and using KSI Blockchain for data from Copernicus Programme. Having blockchain in space, allows reliable, transparent and secure peer-to-peer transactions. Blockchain via ESA will be a s[ace network to support the financial and information transactions. | 2019 – 2025 |
| ESA and SpaceChain | In 2018, ESA started funding a project by SpaceChain. Today Spacechain workd on integrating space and blockchain technologies; tries to improve security and accessibility to the blockchain industry. | 2018 – 2025 |
| NASA | Funds 3 blockchain projects: Resilient Networking and Computing Paradigm (RNCP),Blockchain for Model Based System Engineering, ROBOT: Rules Oriented Blockchain Operations Transactor, Space Communication Reconstruction and Mapping with Blockchain Ledgering (SCRAMBL). LunaNet: Empowering Artemis lunar landing missions in 2025/26; Lunanet is being built, since 2022 by NASA and international partners to prvide lunar settlements with networking, navigation, detection and information, and radio/optical science services. | 2018 2019 2020 2021 – 2025 |
| EARS and COIN22 | Team to design a Blockchain for Satellite Data predicting drought and other Agricultural indexes to help farmers save and enroll in insurance during bad seasons. COIN22 is a blockchain for micro financing; it enables mobile money payments to phones anywhere in the world, very easily and quickly. | 2018 – 2025 |
| SpaceBelt Data Security as a Service (DSaaS) | Spacebelt is the first company to use a network of 10 satellites to offer space-based secure cloud data storage and global connectivity services | 2020 2021 2022 2025 |
| Open Geospacial Consortium (OGC) | A Working Group of more than 540 Members; they develop standards for using Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies with spatial data. Their projects include The Horizon Europe USAGE project (Urban Data Space for Green Deal). They recently Called For Proposals for the OGC Fedated Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure Pilot 2023 (aka FMSDI Pilot Phase 4);responses are due by April 14, 2023, @11:59 PM EST. | 2019 – 2025 |
