Walking through the compromise of a single ground station and space vehicle (SV) as well as their component devices certainly drives home the real threat at a system level. To further present just how impactful compromise of and via a SV can be, we will now proceed through a scenario that provides a macroanalysis of an example widespread and far-reaching space system compromise. The following will build on the walk-through before and reference some of the cyber techniques that were used and incorporate them at a higher level. This macroanalysis will not delve into as many ...
