NASA researchers are considering the potential applications of blockchain technology for space travel.<\/p>\n
Dr Jin Wei from the University of Akron is heading up the research and aims to leverage the Ethereum blockchain to aid in spacecraft navigation and communication.<\/p>\n
In an interview with ETHNews<\/strong><\/a>, NASA’s Thomas Kacpura said this was the first time the agency was considering the application of blockchain technology.<\/p>\n If the research is successful, it will be incorporated into NASA’s portfolio and used to optimise the agency’s communication networks, said Kacpura.<\/p>\n NASA researchers are considering the potential applications of blockchain technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":145533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31750],"tags":[191,42124,761,48553],"class_list":["post-246269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-ethereum","tag-nasa","tag-space-communications"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246269"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246269"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246269\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":246299,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246269\/revisions\/246299"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Now read:\u00a0NASA testing nuclear reactor for Mars habitat<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
