Abstract
Systems and methods for space-based transactions are disclosed. A method for conducting a space-based transaction may include: (1) a first space-based device determining that it is incapable or will be incapable of providing the service; (2) the first space-based device identifying a second space-based device; (3) the first space-based device requesting capability information for the second space-based device; (4) the first space-based device that the second space-based device is capable of providing the service based on the capability information; and (5) the first space-based device executing a transaction with the second space-based device, wherein the first space-based device pays the second space-based device for the service by transferring payment from an electronic wallet for the first space-based device to an electronic wallet for the second space-based device on the distributed ledger network, and the second space-based device provides the service to the user.
