The document is designed to increase the security of public and private space programs.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released the first version of a guide to best practices for cybersecurity in space, according to a press release on the agency's website.
Its goal is to strengthen cybersecurity efforts for both public and private space missions.
This guide marks an important milestone in NASA's commitment to ensuring the longevity and survivability of its space missions. It should serve as a resource for improving their safety and reliability.
The guide is intended to benefit not only NASA, but also the agency's international partners, the aerospace industry, and other organizations working in the field of space exploration. Its recommendations are suitable for ensuring the safety of space missions, programs, and projects of any scale.
"We recognize the importance of protecting our space missions from potential threats and vulnerabilities," Misty Finickle, NASA's deputy General Counsel for Enterprise Systems Protection, said in a press release.
According to her, "this guidance is the result of a collective effort to develop principles that will identify and mitigate risks, ensuring the continuous success of missions both in Earth orbit and beyond."
"Modern space systems are becoming more integrated and interconnected, which brings new opportunities for working, communicating and collecting data in space. However, this also increases the risk of vulnerabilities in the systems. NASA's leadership is focused on providing best practices for adapting to these new challenges and implementing effective security measures," the agency's website says.
The agency plans to collect feedback from the aerospace community to integrate it into future versions of the document.
