In this NASA sponsored contract, Orbit Logic will develop a secure and distributed communication system that will facilitate cooperation among heterogeneous satellite assets to satisfy constellation-level mission requirements, called Space Communication Reconstruction and Mapping with Blockchain Ledgering (SCRAMBL).

SCRAMBL will ensure secure and robust communication in satellite constellations where the network topologies and asset capabilities are uncertain and changing, leveraging Orbit Logic’s existing Autonomous Planning System (APS).

The solution is being developed in partnership with Fraunhofer USA (FhUSA) and CyberPhysical Security, Inc. FhUSA’s blockchain algorithm is customized for SCRAMBL’s concept of operations, providing features such as smart contracts.
