Valuable insights and strategies for mitigating risks associated with space systems, reviewing satellite cybersecurity, regulatory frameworks, and incident response protocols

Cyber Security for Space Missions: Mitigating Risks in the New Space Era examines the multifaceted landscape of space exploration, defense, and security, encompassing both traditional and emerging challenges such as space debris, cyber threats, and the implications of cutting-edge technologies. The book underscores the vital importance of fostering a culture of cooperation and security in space exploration, emphasizing the need for collaborative strategies that address both current and future challenges. It provides the reader with insights on the application of cybersecurity principles to this domain which has unique constraints.

The book begins with an introduction to the domain in the first few chapters, then moves on to address technical cybersecurity principles and architectural considerations as well as other non-technical matters relevant to the field. Each chapter features nuanced case studies, exercises, and collaborative discussions. Readers will find insights on key differences between terrestrial and space cybersecurity including environmental challenges and threat landscapes, communication latency and network architecture, and system complexity and interconnectivity, along with an overview of cybersecurity testing and evaluation methodologies.

Additional topics explored in Cyber Security for Space Missions include:

Past cybersecurity breaches, the impact of satellite hacking incidents, and successful mitigation of space-based attacks in the past Commercial space activities and their unique cybersecurity challenges Regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements from organizations such as NASA, ESA, and ITAR Quantum cryptography, blockchain-based security, and enhanced satellite security protocols Components of space systems including ground stations and communication links

Cyber Security for Space Missions serves as a comprehensive and up-to-date reference on the subject for space mission directors, spacecraft systems engineers, cybersecurity specialists, space systems architects, payload engineers, and ground station operators.
