SSC's Cyber Expo is open to military, government, contractors, academia, and commercial industry professionals interested in learning how Space Systems Command is using cyber resilience today and tomorrow to protect our current and future space systems and acquisitions.

Capture The Flag:
Working as a team or by themselves, participants will get a chance to hack a real satellite payload using a ground simulator. They'll have to solve a series of challenges both on a simulated ground system and an engineering model of a payload now flying on Aerospace's Slingshot spacecraft. Along the way, they'll have a chance to learn about the intersection of space and cyber, and how we can defend our space systems against cyber attacks.
