Use Cases | Space Cyber Range

Validate satellite communication between FlatSat, ground stations, and mission control in a simulated environment. Test protocol resilience against cyber threats such as command injection, replay attacks, delays, and unauthorized access.

Train satellite operators to manage collision-avoidance procedures under manipulated orbital data and false alerts. Simulate attacks that create false warnings, hide real threats, or trigger unnecessary manoeuvres.

Connect FlatSat hardware to the Space Cyber Range via secure VPN for remote interface testing. Simulate the Assembly, Integration and Test (AIT) phase to validate compatibility, procedures, and mission readiness early.

Integrate cybersecurity into spacecraft operations training through realistic cyberattack scenarios. Teams defend satellites and mission control systems against simulated intrusions across ground and space segments.

Simulate GNSS disruptions affecting telecom, energy, financial systems, and transportation networks. Evaluate how timing failures cascade through critical infrastructure dependent on satellite services.

Expose operators to mission anomalies and cyber incidents within a simulated Mission Control System. Practice responding to compromised accounts, system manipulation, unexpected power events, and operational faults.
