Abstract
Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for space vehicle security are provided. A space vehicle can include a navigational controller configured to determine a mode of the space vehicle, a power supply configured to provide power to components of the space vehicle, a transceiver configured to determine whether a communications channel to a ground station is open, and an intrusion detection monitor configured to monitor for non-nominal outputs from components of the space vehicle, the components that are monitored are variable based on a power level of the power supply, a connectivity state of the transceiver, and the mode.
Claims20
A space vehicle comprising:
- a navigational controller configured to determine a mode of the space vehicle;
- a power supply configured to provide power to components of the space vehicle;
- a transceiver configured to determine whether a communications channel to a ground station is open;
- and
- an intrusion detection monitor configured to monitor for non-nominal outputs from components of the space vehicle, the components that are monitored are variable based on a power level of the power supply, a connectivity state of the transceiver, and the mode.
A method for space vehicle intrusion detection, the method comprising:
- determining, by a navigational controller of the space vehicle, a mode of the space vehicle;
- providing, by a power supply of the space vehicle, power to components of the space vehicle;
- determining, by a transceiver of the space vehicle, whether a communications channel to a ground station is open;
- and
- monitoring, by an intrusion detection monitor of the space vehicle, for non-nominal outputs from components of the space vehicle, the components that are monitored are variable based on a power level of the power supply, a connectivity state of the transceiver, and the mode.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations for intrusion detection in a space vehicle, the operations comprising:
- determining, by a navigational controller of the space vehicle, a mode of the space vehicle;
- providing, by a power supply of the space vehicle, power to components of the space vehicle;
- determining, by a transceiver of the space vehicle, whether a communications channel to a ground station is open;
- and
- monitoring, by an intrusion detection monitor of the space vehicle, for non-nominal outputs from components of the space vehicle, the components that are monitored are variable based on a power level of the power supply, a connectivity state of the transceiver, and the mode.
