Hacking in Space
summary
Commercial space becomes an “Internet of space” claiming $330B in 2017 projected to $1.1T by 2040 and moving critical services—GPS timing for financial transactions, comms, earth observation—into orbit. Satellites use RF and increasingly Wi‑Fi links and face jamming, spoofing, supply‑chain backdoors and even anti‑satellite missiles; a known case involves a Romanian hacker breached NASA corporate network extracting satellite data. Consequences include darkened phones, disrupted ATC, blind military ISR and failed timestamped finance; resilience, cross‑industry integration and scenario rehearsals are recommended.
