IN-ORBIT DATA STORAGE SPACE SYSTEM
IN-ORBIT DATA STORAGE SPACE SYSTEM
In the context of digitalization of all spheres of human activity, new requirements are being defined for data communication channels, first of all, in the domain of communication channels security. Traditionally, the need for secure communication channels arises in the financial sector.
A system for storing and transmitting data through a spacecraft constellation is proposed to secure transmission of cryptographic information and enable secure storage of cryptocurrencies.
The consumer value of this service is achieved by the unique system hardware and software architecture, which provides a client with completely anonymous access to the data transfer and storage and prevents other parties from gaining access to this data at the hardware and software levels.
A satellite constellation will be built, comprising 108 Cubesat 12U+ satellites, which are super cheap in construction and operation. To ensure reliable storage, copies of client data are stored on each satellite in the constellation.

Satellite system communications
Data storage and transmission, data access control
The ground user terminals transfer information to the distributed memory of the satellite constellation and receive, upon request, information from the distributed memory. The ground terminal weighs 5 – 7 kg.Satellite user stations used both in densely populated areas and in hard-to-reach regions, including those installed on mobile objects, can be used as the ground user terminals. The principal developers and manufacturers of this equipment are such companies as Isotropic Systems, UK, and Alcan Systems, Germany.
A satellite user terminal or user station is a small-sized device at the personal disposal of the user, providing information exchange with a base station, satellite or other user, including getting into communication, preparing and maintaining communication sessions, entering and outputting information.

Overall view of the space system satellite
The space system operation is supported by the ground segment, which includes mobile user terminals and a ground control center for the constellation satellites.
Satellite system communications
The telemetry and navigation control of the constellation satellites is provided by the Yuzhnoye specialists, with the client controlling access and information/data transmission through the ground terminals. The satellite control communication channels being separated from the client data/information control communication channels, the personnel providing satellite operations do not have access to control and transfer of the client data.
