Description	Demonstrating space-enabled text messaging to a specialized handheld antenna but ultimately directly to standard smartphones. For Spacecoin, the Creditcoin blockchain platform would help manage a constellation of small satellites by securely tracking operations and facilitating payments without a central authority. CTC, the shorthand symbol — or ticker — for Creditcoin, functions as the transaction medium within the network. CTC-1 slated to launch next year would be 16U, according to Spacecoin, and the venture plans to start transitioning from nanosatellites to microsatellites to significantly boost performance from CTC-2.
