Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Space ISAC) signed an agreement with the NASA Space Communication and Navigation (SCaN) Program during the 40th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This marked a significant milestone in space security collaboration as the agreement solidifies a strategic partnership dedicated to safeguarding the global space ecosystem.
This agreement aims to facilitate collaboration between the private sector and NASA in sharing critical information on threats and vulnerabilities affecting space systems, space communications, and the broader space sector. This includes areas such as space weather, communication anomalies, spectrum analysis, and interference.
This collaboration will leverage state-of-the-art threat intelligence, enhanced information sharing platforms, and advanced security frameworks to protect space systems. By integrating innovative capabilities and fostering real-time cooperation, this partnership strengthens the mission to ensure space security.
Looking ahead, Space ISAC and NASA are eager to expand their joint efforts, driving innovation and strengthening security resilience across the space industry. This agreement lays the foundation for continued collaboration, ensuring that the space sector remains secure, resilient, and prepared for future challenges.
Space ISAC Executive Director, Erin Miller, said, “This agreement with NASA represents a groundbreaking step in fortifying the security of space operations. By working together, we are taking proactive measures to protect critical space infrastructure and ensure the security and resilience of the space industry.” This partnership underscores Space ISAC’s unwavering commitment to uniting the space community against threats and vulnerabilities and highlights its leadership in space security.”
This agreement marks a crucial step in strengthening the security posture of the space sector,” said Kevin Coggins, deputy associate administrator for Space Communications and Navigation at NASA. “Through this partnership, NASA is committed to sharing expertise and collaborating with Space ISAC to safeguard critical space infrastructure. By working together as one team, we enhance our collective ability to protect and defend space systems against evolving threats.”
