The paper discusses the importance of cybersecurity in protecting the critical infrastructure systems that are now being deployed in space. It highlights the commonalities between space systems and ground-based industrial control systems (ICS), suggesting that lessons learned from securing ICS can help in designing effective protections for space systems. The paper also considers how new security techniques, including those based on machine learning, can be applied to space systems and provides recommendations for future research to secure increasingly critical space systems.
