We are on the ISS!

SpaceChain Foundation is excited to announce that our blockchain hardware embedded with the multisignature wallet technology has been installed on the International Space Station (ISS)! The installation was conducted by astronaut Jessica Meir, who is also a marine biologist, physiologist, and more recently, the participant of the first all women space walk. You can see the installation in this video:

This opportunity was provided via Nanoracks and their Space Act Agreement with NASA. The launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 took place from the Kennedy Space Center in early December 2019. With each SpaceChain launch, we are moving closer to our vision of furthering a New Space Economy -- enabling space agencies, industries and innovators to access and collaborate in space using decentralised technology.
