Blockchain and radio communications over suborbital spaceflights: Watchtowers and Mystics

The communication between ground and satellites is tough due to long distances and interferences in the propagation medium. Using the blockchain technology and a serie of ground nodes, information can be distributed in a reliable and secure way. The satellite discovers nearby ground stations and send the information that it is verified with other nodes present in the same network. Ground nodes are classified in two types, master (Watchtowers) and working (Mystics) nodes. The Watchtower controls the entering gate of new nodes to the network and the distribution of information between the working nodes. The Mystics nodes use a verification process with the information. Each Mystic exchanges the information with the n-nearest nodes and receive tokens as a reward is the information has been verified using a proof-of-work algorithm.
