Space Threat Fact Sheet - U.S. Space Force
What's new: We discovered this interesting fact sheet Space Force issued.?
Why it's important: When GPS was first launched space was a fairly safe place to put things. Now it is pretty dangerous. Not only is it a warfighting domain, it is a lightly governed, mostly ungoverned, commons. Everyone wants to use it, no one is responsible to take care of it.*
What else to know: The fact sheet focuses a lot on adversarial threats to satellites. It?only mentions cyber once (in the Russia section) and jamming once (in the China section). In our humble opinion, at least in the PNT arena, electronic warfare on the ground and in space is a far bigger threat. It is reversable and much less likely to cause a shooting war no one wants than a direct attack on a satellite.
Other threats that could have been mentioned:

12 小时前This is where the power of ISACs come in. This is a useful report. There’s so much more needed. We need timely, actionable threat information shared among trusted members. If a commercial owner operator needs to protect their investment, it’s through indicators of compromise; shared real time, or other machine-to-machine threat sharing.
