## What
# OPENENET-MS01: MoneroSpace Decentralized Satellite Network
### Core Objectives
MoneroSpace aims to build a **decentralized censorship-resistant satellite communication network** using open-source hardware and encryption protocols, with three primary goals:
1. **Global Ubiquitous Access**: Enable Monero transactions in regions lacking terrestrial networks (e.g., oceans, polar areas) or under censorship (e.g., Iran, Syria).
2. **Physical-Layer Resistance**: Bypass ground-based internet blockades via low-earth orbit satellites to ensure independent transaction broadcasting.
3. **Community-Driven Ecosystem**: Open-source satellite hardware designs and communication protocols to allow third-party node deployment.
### Technical Framework
