📢 We’ve got news! We’re deploying IPFS in space aboard Lockheed Martin Space’s LM 400 Technology Demonstrator spacecraft! More from Marta Belcher, president of Filecoin Foundation & Joe Landon, vice president & general manager of lunar infrastructure services, Lockheed Martin live from #Davos

Today, we announced the details of a first-of-its-kind mission to deploy IPFS in space to speed up communications across long distances in space.

This announcement follows our previous announcement in May that FF and @LMSpace are working together to explore deploying IPFS in space. This mission is the culmination of that work and the next step in that project. 🚀

“Today’s centralized internet model doesn’t work in space. Every time you click, that data has to be retrieved from a centralized server; if you’re on the Moon, there will be a multi-second delay as content is retrieved from Earth” - @MartaBelcher, president @FilFoundation.

With @IPFS, data doesn’t need to go back and forth from Earth every time. Instead, IPFS retrieves content from wherever is closest—rather than retrieving content from a particular server in a particular place.

“The LM 400 Tech Demonstrator mission will showcase how IPFS can make larger quantities of data from space available to multiple ground-based applications in simpler ways” - @joe_landon, vice president and general manager of lunar infrastructure services @LockheedMartin.

The mission will demonstrate a space-to-ground communication use case for IPFS. First, data from space will be “content-addressed” using IPFS and made available on the IPFS network through a ground station.

Then, applications using IPFS will be able to retrieve the data from the IPFS network, without needing to know the location of the specific ground station holding the data.

The IPFS software layer for space is designed to be usable for a wide range of use cases and architectures and topologies, including space-to-space communication. The software is open-source licensed and is being developed in public. Check it out 👉

@IPFS @LMSpace @MartaBelcher @joe_landon @LockheedMartin This is great!

@IPFS @LMSpace @MartaBelcher @joe_landon @LockheedMartin Crazy technology that filecoin offers. Most valuable crypto project that changes the life of astronauts and the future of communication. Congrats keep the hard work.
