Introducing CST-SPV for Space Vehicles

Introducing a new Cyber-SENTRI Spreadsheet Tool (CST) version for space vehicle systems (CST-SPV).

CST-SPV uses Aerospace’s SPARTA (Space Attack Research and Tactic Analysis) framework. 

SPARTA is an openly available framework that catalogs how an adversary could attack a space system. SPARTA addresses threat techniques specific to space missions – covering the spacecraft bus, flight software, uplink and downlink, cross-links, and telemetry and commanding, alongside the ground segment. Examples of techniques include command link intrusion, telemetry manipulation, and payload interference.

CST-SPV pairs those techniques with corresponding NIST SP 800-53 security controls, giving space programs a threat-informed view of their overall system posture.

CST-SPV is available on request. Visit our Contact Us page to request a copy.
