Integration Methods for Satellite Generated Data in Commercial Distributed Ledger Systems

“卫星应用给任何商业或社会问题带来的价值主张集中在两个核心主题上：”电信“和”远程观测“。此外，卫星，特别是现代卫星星座，通过使远距离通信和远距离观测能力成为可能，使网络具有高度可扩展性，信息传播速度越来越快-一对多的大众通信和观测;即通过蜂窝网络进行全球电信;全球远程观测事件。仅在2017年，就对地球观测数据分析领域的初创企业进行了重大投资; 5000万美元投资于Orbital Insight，在英国，200万英镑分别投资于Bird.i和Rezatec 200万英镑;虽然建立了地球图像提供商，如行星，和空中客车，和DigitalGlobe已经将其产品重新定位为增值分析和信息产品以及图像产品。由OneWeb、Sky and Space Global、SpaceX和Thales Alenia Space等公司开发的轨道巨型星座，提供了新的连接解决方案，以满足人们对来自地球仪上任何位置、在一天中任何时间的数据不断增长的需求，无论是宽带还是窄带，以支持“物联网”：在市场主导的卫星系统重新定义的同时，除了安全支付和数字资产转移之外，地面区块链应用的增长，特别是开放访问分布式应用平台的发展正在产生新的方式来创建、存储和传输信息以及数字不可变资产。区块链应用程序和相关的加密数字资产记录方法，使新的方式来定位卫星作为近实时商品经纪人，土地登记员，和法律的争端仲裁员，其中地理信息是关键。这个创新英国资助的项目将使空间贸易和我们的合作伙伴- Craft前景，英国的卫星人工智能开发商;评估卫星生成的数据集在智能合约区块链应用中的可行性，创造商业化卫星数据的新方法，这些方法直到最近才变得难以置信。例如，在捕获真实世界的用户需求之后，我们将在以下领域编写原型智能合约：\* 数字资产生成，支持基于卫星观测证据的对等交换。\*基于空间验证通信信号的自动非法侵入起诉\* 卫星容量的微租赁，以满足卫星网络目标。这些领域的全球市场价值预计将在未来5年内翻一番，我们的团队打算代表英国纳税人在这一领域捕获有用的IP。"

"The value proposition which satellite applications bring to any commercial or societal problem is focussed around two core themes: 'telecommunication' and 'tele-observation'. Furthermore, by enabling long distance communication and long distance observational capabilities, satellites and especially modern satellite constellations, enable highly scalable networks, and ever faster information distribution -- one-to-many mass communication and observation; i.e. global telecommunication through cellular networks; global tele-observation of events.In 2017 alone major investments were made in start-ups in the field of earth observation data analytics; USD 50M was invested in Orbital Insight, and in the UK, GBP 2M invested in both Bird.i and Rezatec GBP 2M respectively; whilst established Earth imagery providers such as Planet, and Airbus, and DigitalGlobe have repositioned their offering towards value added analytics and information products as well as imagery alone.New telecommunication systems based on low-earth-orbiting mega-constellations such as those being developed by OneWeb, Sky and Space Global, SpaceX and Thales Alenia Space, offer new connectivity solutions to meet growing demand for data from any position on the globe, at any time of day, either in broadband, or narrowband to support the 'Internet of Things':In parallel to the market-led redefinition of satellite systems, the growth in terrestrial blockchain applications beyond secure payment and digital asset transfer alone, especially the development of open-access distributed application platforms is giving rise to new ways to create, store, and transfer information and digitally immutable assets. Blockchain applications and associated cryptographic digital asset recording methods, enable new ways to position satellites as near real-time commodity brokers, land-registrars, and legal dispute arbitrators where geolocational information is key.This Innovate UK funded project will enable Trade in Space and our partners -- Craft Prospect, a UK based Satellite Artificial Intelligence developer; to assess the feasibility of satellite generated datasets in smart contract blockchain applications, to create new ways of commercialising satellite data which were implausible until recently.For example, following capture of real-world user requirements, we will write prototype smart contracts in the following areas:\* Digital Asset Generation, supporting peer-to-peer exchange based on Satellite 'Proof of Observation.\* Automated Illegal Trespass Prosecution based on space verified communication signals\* Micro-leasing of satellite capacity to meet satellite network objectives.The value of the global market in each of these areas is expected to approximately double in the next 5 years, and our team intent to capture useful IP in this area on behalf of the UK taxpayer."
