Computer Security
A space system, space vehicle, or Satellite is a remotely controlled and monitored computer system or Cyber-physical system(CPS) object which is intentionally placed in orbit in outer space. Computer security, cybersecurity (cyber security), or information security refers to the protection, detection, and deterrence of cyberattack or exploitation of a computer system from unauthorized access or exceeding authorized access in order exploit, deny, or degrade said system. Outer space is an extreme and hazardous environment to remotely operate computer controlled space systems which are traveling at great speeds as they orbit the Earth. This type of remotely operated computer system is also categorized as Cyber-physical system, or SCADA system, or operational technology system, and the protection of such systems is known as CPS security, SCADA security, or OT security. These CPS space assets are also considered to be an Edge computing system which imbeds the computational processes and data storage directly onto the vehicle. Edge computing is designed to conduct the majority of it sensor collection, computational analysis, and physical actions on the device or in this case the space asset. This edge computing processing is designed to reduce the size of data transmissions and required bandwidth. As space vehicles or satellites are designed to be a remotely controlled and monitored computer systems traveling in orbit at great velocities it is extremely important to ensure the security of these systems. The commercial use of space is becoming more prevalent as cost of spaceflight, launches, and vehicles become more affordable which will result in the increase in the number of vehicle in orbit. As the number of space vehicles increase so does the number of potential targets for computer misuse, exploitation, cybercrime, hacktivism, and cyberwarfare by state, non-state, and independent hackers, and their devastating impact.
