Abstract
A framework for interfacing a blockchain-based ground system with flight software and satellite orbit analysis applications is disclosed. A blockchain application (e.g., a web application) for secure management of satellites has three components—a client, a server, and a private and permissioned-based blockchain network (e.g., a Hyperledger Fabric™ network). The client allows users to configure satellite parameters. The server facilitates the communication between the client and the blockchain. The blockchain allows the secure management and storage of satellite configuration data on blockchain ledgers. For instance, SECCON provides a blockchain-based framework that can be a potential candidate for next generation ground system applications. SECCON allows secure configuration management of satellites, and has been interfaced with OpenSatKit, a software tool kit that can interact with the cFS. SECCON also provides secure communication of orbital data between trusted organizations and allows the satellite configuration parameters to be exported and viewed in SOAP.
