Blockchain experts for NASA
The US agency NASA has a growing relationship with the blockchain. But what can this technology contribute to state exploration?
Those who predicted Bitcoin for the future were not wrong, though they did not refer to it. Technology based on crypto-currencies or blockchain is consolidating its meteoric growth, and in almost a literal way, completely incorporating it into the air and space sector.
Recently, NASA posted a job offer on the LinkedIn platform: a search for a data scientist, adding that the ad would be recognized with crypto-coins and blockchain expertise in choosing a candidate.
As determined in the social network, the candidate would be hired to develop innovative applications in the cross-functional areas of the American space agency's propulsion and reaction lab, including: robotics, artificial intelligence, mission systems, fog computing, state-of-the-art flight hardware and digital assistants.
While the mention of the blockchain has attracted some attention, it is worth noting that the company has been spending some time exploring the availability of this technology in its industry. Specifically, they published a proposal in January of the year based on HyperLedger, an open source platform for blockchain. This project, they agreed at the time, allowed for secure, private and anonymous communication between an aircraft and an authorized member on the ground.
Blockchain options in this industry are not restricted to the security field. Almost a year ago, NASA funded more than $ 300,000 in a research project that developed a blockchain network based on Ethereum, which uses smart subcontracting technology to automatically detect vessels floating in space and avoid them autonomously.
For its part, the European Space Agency has shown interest in the blockchain. In 2017, he published a report lauding its use in logistics, the benefits of applying for payment systems, and its maneuverability when it comes to working in real time with variable data. It seems like they are going to blockchain, at least to simplify their administrative processes.
In addition, it is important to note that this technology would be useful for tracking the traces of each part of a vessel along the supply chain. For some reason, 86% of companies working in the aerospace industry are planning to introduce blockchain technology over the next two years, according to research from Accenture Consulting.
NASA
NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration: National Aeronautics and Space Agency) is the United States government space agency. NASA was created on July 29, 1958 through the National Aeronautics and Space Act.
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet space program launched the world's first satellite (Sputnik 1). The United States Congress threatened and threatened President Eisenhower and his advisers to create a new federal agency within a few months. The purpose of this new agency would be to handle all non-military space issues. DARPA was responsible for military matters, shortly after the space missions were integrated into NASA.
On July 29, 1958, Eisenhower signed the NASA-created record. He began work on October 1, 1958, with four laboratories and about 8000 workers.
