Filecoin, Lockheed Martin send data in space using decentralized data protocol

The Filecoin Foundation and Lockheed Martin Space have successfully transmitted data in space using a version of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) on a satellite orbiting Earth, Marta Belcher, president of the Filecoin Foundation, told Cointelegraph.  Filecoin and Lockheed Martin adapted the system for use in space and successfully tested it, Belcher said during the Consensus 2025 conference in Toronto. The IPFS enhances privacy and security compared to traditional web protocols, such as HTTP, by identifying data based on its content rather than its location. This has additional benefits for data transmission in space, Belcher said source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/filecoin-lockheed-martin-test-decentralized-data-protocol-in-space?utm_source=rss_feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss_partner_inbound
