"Space systems enable key functions such as global communications; positioning, navigation, and timing; scientific observation; exploration; weather monitoring; and multiple vital national security applications." #GPS 2/x

"Therefore, it is essential to protect space systems from cyber incidents in order to prevent disruptions to their ability to provide reliable and efficient contributions to the operations of the Nation’s critical infrastructure." #KRITIS 3/x

"These systems, networks, and channels can be #vulnerable to malicious activities that can deny, degrade, or disrupt space operations, or even destroy #satellites." 4/x

"Examples of malicious cyber activities harmful to space operations include #spoofing sensor data; #corrupting sensor systems; #jamming or sending unauthorized commands for guidance and control; injecting malicious code; and conducting denial-of-service attacks." 5/x

"Consequences...include loss of mission data; decreased lifespan or capability of space systems or constellations; or the loss of positive control of space vehicles, potentially resulting in #collisions that can impair systems or generate harmful orbital #debris." 6/6
