Description

This activity focuses on analysing cyber threats to modern satellite platforms using a commercially available flat satellite (flatsat) system as a reference.

The goal is to identify key attack surfaces and potential vulnerabilities, helping to understand how adversaries could target satellite systems.

The project will define representative attack scenarios and corresponding indicators of compromise to support early detection of malicious activity.

As a result, the study will deliver an initial standardized framework for satellite threat assessment — a valuable foundation for secure and agile space system design in future missions.
