Summary

Abstract

After introducing space systems and the constraints and challenges of operating within the space environment, we covered extensively the threats to space vehicles and their mission. Discussing at length the vectors an attacker might leverage to introduce those threats and then ultimately walking through a pair of scenarios to drive home how the various threats and vectors could be combined in a cyber-attack campaign to wreak havoc across a space system and its operations, I would like to now cover some of the cyber problems related to space systems which will need to be acknowledged and addressed by both the space and cybersecurity communities moving forward.
