Resilient Space Strategy | New Space Economy

Infographic describing how space systems respond to partial failure through four stages: full capability, reduced capability, priority-only service, and recovery mode, with methods including prioritization, backup modes, rerouting, alternate data paths, workload shedding, and human override.

GRACEFUL DEGRADATION

Infographic explains five dimensions for assessing space-system resilience: availability, recovery, diversity, security, and readiness. It gives operational measures for each dimension and states that metrics should support service delivery, mission outcomes, planning, and investment decisions.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE SPACE RESILIENCE?

Infographic describing space-system resilience as an end-to-end cycle of anticipating risks, withstanding disruption, recovering capabilities, and adapting, with additional points on continuity, deterrence, availability, diversified architectures, and coordinated infrastructure.

WHAT IS A RESILIENT SPACE STRATEGY?

Infographic explains five principles for a more robust space enterprise: spreading capability across nodes, diversifying orbits and providers, distributing dependencies, strengthening cyber, physical, and operational defenses, and restoring capacity after loss.

THE FIVE PILLARS OF SPACE RESILIENCE

Infographic explaining how satellites, ground infrastructure, networks, data services, and defense, civil, commercial, and emergency-service users form connected layers, with supply chains, software, workforce, launch access, and governance affecting resilience.

THE RESILIENT SPACE ARCHITECTURE

Infographic stating that external partners can strengthen government missions through commercial services, allied systems, shared ground infrastructure, hosted payloads, launch access, and data sharing; it lists resilience benefits and success conditions including interoperability, trust, governance, security, and clear agreements.

COMMERCIAL AND ALLIED PARTNERS

Infographic comparing a traditional satellite architecture using three larger spacecraft with a proliferated architecture using many smaller spacecraft, and listing their capabilities, resilience benefits, and management trade-offs.

FROM FEW LARGE SATELLITES TO PROLIFERATED CONSTELLATIONS

Text-heavy infographic describing a seven-step process for restoring lost or damaged space capability and listing preparation factors that can accelerate recovery.

Infographic describes LEO, MEO, GEO, and highly elliptical orbits; several mission platforms; provider types; and the benefits and complexity of using diversified capabilities.

DIVERSIFYING ORBITS, PLATFORMS, AND PROVIDERS

Infographic lists seven threats to space systems, matching each with a response, and presents a resilience toolkit focused on detecting, protecting, adapting, and restoring capabilities.
