Cryptosat launches software for cryptographic satellite interaction simulation

Cryptosat, a startup that builds and launches low earth orbit (LEO) satellites that power blockchain and cryptographic protocols, has launched a simulating software for its Cryptosim software.

The simulation software is designed for developers and comes with an API functions tutorial and a satellite trajectory simulation. It intends to help developers get a feel of how they can interact with the software installed on Cryptostat’s low earth orbit (LEO) satellites once in space.

Cryptosat simulator features

The simulator has a JavaScript console allowing users to programmatically try the software’s API and interact with the simulated satellite to request its status, sign messages, request randomness, and generate Delay-Encryption key pairs among other things.

The functions that can be called using the current build of the Cryptosim software include:

Cryptosat’s simulator offers developers an opportunity to try its API and acclimatize themselves to the capabilities of Cryptosat’s LEO satellites. Blockchain teams are also at liberty to propose new use cases for Cryptosat’s product besides the currently identified applications.
