SERA outlines decentralized space science platform at London DESCI 2024

SERA believes that the future of space exploration lies not just in technological advancements, but also in fostering a new era of open collaboration and knowledge sharing. That's why the organization is embracing the principles of decentralized science (DeSci) to fuel innovation and accelerate progress in tackling the grand challenges of our time.

DeSci: Democratizing Space Research

DeSci, powered by blockchain technology and open-source principles, is revolutionizing the way scientific research is conducted. It's about breaking down barriers, empowering a global community of contributors, and making space exploration more accessible and inclusive.

SERA's DeSci Initiatives

SERA is actively integrating DeSci into its next Mission through a science experiment competition for students and researchers across the world to propose the experiments that the six astronauts will perform while they are in space. At the recent DeSci London 2024 conference, SERA's co-founder Sam Hutchison outlined SERA’s vision for the decentralized future of space research: Watch the presentation

Next Steps

Building on the upcoming science experiment competition, SERA will be developing tools for its community to achieve the following goals:

● Accelerate Research and Development: By removing traditional barriers to collaboration and funding, DeSci can enable faster and more efficient progress in space research. SERA is building a dedicated space research collaboration platform leveraging blockchain technology to facilitate open collaboration, data sharing, and incentivization for space researchers worldwide.

● Enhance Transparency and Trust: Blockchain technology provides immutable records of data and research findings, ensuring transparency and accountability in space science projects.

● Crowdsource Innovation: By building a multi-sided marketplace that allows anyone to propose, fund, and commercialize innovative space research, SERA aims to incentivize a global network of contributors to participate in space-related projects.

A Collaborative Leap into the Cosmos

SERA envisions a future where space exploration is driven by a global community of passionate individuals, working together to unlock the mysteries of the universe and address the challenges facing our planet. By embracing DeSci principles, SERA is taking a bold step toward that future.

`SERA invites everyone to join them on this exciting journey. Whether you're a researcher, citizen scientist, or simply passionate about space and science, there are countless ways to get involved and contribute to a more collaborative and inclusive spacefaring future.
