Systems and methods for space-based transactions

A method for conducting a space-based transaction, comprising:

• requesting, by a first space-based device and from a user, a request for a service, wherein the first space-based device and the user are participants in a distributed ledger network as nodes;
• determining, by the first space-based device, that it is incapable or will be incapable of providing the service;
• identifying, by the first space-based device, a second space-based device, wherein the second space-based device is a participant in the distributed ledger network;
• requesting, by the first space-based device and from the second space-based device, capability information for the second space-based device;
• confirming, by the first space-based device, that the second space-based device is capable of providing the service based on the capability information;
• and
• executing, by the first space-based device, 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.
