Description
This is an overview of a satellite system and its vulnerability to attack. The age, altitude, satellite and control station quantity, and strategic importance are all factors that should be considered when determining the vulnerability of a satellite system. The risk of asset loss increases with threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts, but countermeasures can reduce overall risk. The global geopolitical landscape has shifted dramatically in large part due to the changing power dynamic in space, and the US government must now channel its authority through a vast multitude of service providers.
