Experience the Space Cybersecurity Mission Control TTX Hackathon, a collaborative and innovative event hosted by the SGAC’s Space and Cyber Project Group, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Aerospace Cybersecurity Working Group (ACWG), Space ISAC, and the Cornell Aerospace Adversary Lab.

This fully online tabletop exercise (TTX), held concurrently with the AIAA ASCEND conference on October 21, 2023, delves into the critical convergence of space and cybersecurity. As space technology continues its rapid evolution, the importance of cybersecurity becomes increasingly vital.

Participants will assume the roles of decision-makers, tasked with identifying, diagnosing, and responding to a simulated cyber attack on space infrastructure. To succeed, participants will draw from a diverse skill set, including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, space engineering, policy, and law. Collaborating within their groups, they will assess the crisis, devise innovative solutions, and work towards minimizing losses.

This event seeks to foster a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, bridging both technical and non-technical aspects while mitigating the overall impact. Join us on October 21, 2023, at 5:30 PM CEST (9:00 PM Pacific Time) for a four-hour exploration of this critical intersection.

Admission is free, and we welcome all space and cybersecurity enthusiasts, whether as individuals or teams. Students, researchers, and young professionals from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to participate. The winning teams will also have the opportunity to be showcased at the AIAA ASCEND Conference in Las Vegas.

!!! IMPORTANT INFORMATION: when registering as a team, you only need to register one team member initially, and then include up to a maximum of five additional team members in the designated field on the form. Registration for the event will conclude on October 18th, and the selected teams will receive a confirmation email.

So, hurry up and don’t miss this chance to be part of an event that encourages innovation, problem-solving, and awareness in the realm of space cybersecurity!
