Abstract:
Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for managing data storage in a satellite platform. In one implementation, a satellite platform includes a plurality of satellites, wherein a first satellite of the platform is configured to identify a request for a ledger entry for a blockchain maintained by the satellite platform and, in response to the request, distribute the ledger entry to one or more other satellites of the satellite platform, wherein the one or more other satellites comprise full nodes for the blockchain. Once distributed, the one or more other satellites each determine whether the ledger entry is verified and, when the ledger entry is verified, enters the ledger entry in a ledger for the satellite.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of operating a satellite platform, the satellite platform comprising a plurality of satellites, the method comprising:\n in a first satellite of the satellite platform, identifying a request for a ledger entry for a blockchain maintained by the satellite platform, wherein the ledger entry corresponds to data obtained from at least one sensor associated with the first satellite or data obtained from a communication interface of the first satellite configured to communicate with one or more other satellites or a ground control system, and wherein the ledger entry identifies a source satellite or ground control system for the ledger entry; in the first satellite of the satellite platform and in response to the request, determining one or more shortest paths to distribute the ledger entry to one or more other satellites of the satellite platform, wherein the one or more other satellites comprise full nodes for the blockchain, and wherein at least one of the one or more shortest paths traverse at least one satellite of the satellite platform that does not maintain the blockchain; in the first satellite of the satellite platform, distributing the ledger entry to one or more other satellites of the satellite platform using the one or more shortest paths; and in each of the one or more other satellites, determining when the ledger entry is verified and, when the ledger entry is verified, entering the ledger entry in a ledger for the satellite.
