SPARTA | New Space Economy

Infographic explaining how command data travels from operators through ground systems and communications links to spacecraft, how telemetry returns mission information, and how cybersecurity controls address possible compromises.

WHY COMMAND AND TELEMETRY INFORMATION MUST BE PROTECTED

Infographic explaining passive analysis of spacecraft and ground-system radio-frequency emissions, the operational clues it can reveal, related defensive risks, and practices for reducing exposure and protecting capabilities.

SPACECRAFT RADIO-FREQUENCY RECONNAISSANCE

Infographic explaining how publicly available mission details can be combined to reveal operational patterns and create risks, with security practices listed across the mission lifecycle.

MISSION INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL SECURITY

Infographic explaining how communications data and metadata can reveal spacecraft network architecture and operations, support adversary actions, and inform defensive practices.

SPACECRAFT COMMUNICATIONS INFORMATION AS A SECURITY EXPOSURE

Infographic explaining how adversaries collect information about space systems, why reconnaissance matters in a cyber attack lifecycle, and how organizations can reduce reconnaissance exposure.

SPARTA RECONNAISSANCE

Infographic explaining how adversaries may assemble infrastructure, accounts, software, malware, monitoring equipment, services, logistics, and dependency information before a cyber attack on space systems.

SPARTA RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Infographic describing shared dependencies among space missions and commercial infrastructure providers, the operational and cyber effects of service disruption, and defensive practices for mission owners.

COMMERCIAL SPACE INFRASTRUCTURE AND SHARED CYBER RISK

Infographic explains how adversaries can gather information across suppliers, contractors, logistics, software, cloud services, and maintenance providers to find pathways into a spacecraft program, then lists practices for strengthening supply-chain security.

SUPPLY-CHAIN RECONNAISSANCE AND SPACE SYSTEM SECURITY

Infographic explains how exposed technical information about spacecraft architecture, software, communications, payloads, control systems, fault logic, and supply chains can support cyber attacks and identifies defensive practices.

EXPOSED SPACECRAFT INFORMATION CAN CREATE CYBER RISK

Infographic describing ground infrastructure for space missions, including operational systems, exposure points, compromise pathways, potential impacts, and defensive security practices.
