Blockchain offers a secure, distributed database that can operate without a central authority or administrator. Blockchain uses a distributed, peer-to-peer network to make a continuous, growing list of ordered records called blocks to form a digital ledger with smart contracts. Each transaction, represented in a cryptographically signed block, is then automatically validated by the network itself. Blockchain has also garnered interest as a platform to improve the authenticity and transparency of space communications data through many use cases, from maintaining permissions in space communication records to streamlining claims processing. In this paper, we describe the basics of blockchain and illustrate current and future applications of this technology within the space industry.
