The Artemis Space Network digitalspace missions are coordinated by Artemis Music Entertainment, Inc. through existing NASA agreements for commercial access to and activity aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Digital source files are processed at the Artemis Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas (adjacent to the NASA Johnson Spaceflight Center) and prepared for transmission to the ISS. Any form of digital file is acceptable.
Preparation of the source files includes data traceability and security scans following NASA data protocols.
Approved digital mission files are transmitted by spaceflight engineers at the Houston Mission Control Center to NASA tracking and communications stations, typically located at the White Sands Complex in New Mexico or Guam, where they were then beamed into space and relayed by a constellation of NASA satellites to commercial fileservers resident aboard the International Space Station.
In the process of beaming the files to the ISS, they are also beamed into deep space to distant star systems.
Following a full orbit of Earth aboard the ISS, they files are then beamed back down to Earth and relayed back to the Mission Control Center. The files typically travel over 125,000 miles through space.
The telemetry and metadata authentication containing details of the spaceflight journey are documented in Certified Flight Certificates and can be built into blockchain smart contracts associated with the digital files.
