Hacking Cubesats, Cybersecurity in Orbit

This book builds upon computer security, to define security for small spacecraft. We will focus on our newest orbital members, Cubesats. There is a brief introduction on Cubesats and their command control system and control center. Then we will look at cyber attack story's from the commercial and government experience. We will then suggest some updates and new design approached for upcoming Cubesat mission. We will not specifically discuss cyber attacks or protections in the military field. Leave that to the Space Force. In 1998, hackers took over the NASA satellite ROSAT, a joint mission with the Germans. They had hacked into the Control Center at the Goddard Space Flight Center, and took over. They oriented the solar panels onto the Sun, and fried the batterys. In 1999, Hackers took over the U.K.'s military communications constellation, SkyNet. Supposedly, the unknown group issued blackmail threats against the Ministry of Defense. This has not been verified. There have been other supposedly satellite-hacking attacks by groups of state-sponsored terrorism.
