Cybersecurity and policy experts worry that the relative insecurity of satellite systems open them to attack. Information from satellites fuel a great deal of today’s technology, from the intelligence gathering conducted by nation-states to the targeting used by “smart” weapons. The greatest risk is to lose operational foresight and be unable to rely on data that comes through space, a Chatham House expert says. A dozen nations have developed some level of space capability and have used it to launch satellites into space. Both China and Russia have focused on using cyber attacks as part of their military and strategic doctrine.”]
