The Convergence of Space and Cyber: Evolving Threats in the Space Race 2.0
Recorded Future whitepaper warns nation-state cyber operations targeting satellites, ground stations and space supply chains will intensify during 'Space Race 2.0'.
Recorded Future's whitepaper argues that cyber operations will be decisive in the second space race, with espionage, destructive attacks, supply chain compromise and signal hijacking already affecting orbital assets and ground infrastructure. It predicts nation-states will extend cyber targeting toward deep-space ambitions such as lunar colonization and asteroid mining. The paper references the SPARTA adversarial framework and forums like Defence Space 24, and highlights US Space Command's integration of cyber and intelligence into space operations.

Batten the Hatches: Cybersecurity with Military Mariners
Interviews with 20 U.S. Navy and Coast Guard mariners reveal informal, safety-oriented shipboard cyber risk models that may delay attribution and containment.
The study conducts semi-structured interviews with 20 military mariners from U.S. Navy and Coast Guard vessels to understand how service members recognize and respond to cyber risk aboard ships. Unique consequences of compromising military systems identified include weapon takeover and purposeful geopolitical escalation. Cybersecurity is organizationally abstract on ships, so mariners build cyber risk models from informal experience rather than formal instruction. A safety-oriented incident-response model creates resilience but may delay cyber attribution and containment.
