Students Build Space Satellite Simulation To Test Cyber Defenders
A team of interns at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Center for Aerospace Resilient Systems (CARS) has developed a new space satellite simulation tool called OrbitVE. The tool simulates GPS and Starlink-like satellite constellations to test cyber defenders against spoofing and other attacks. The interns presented their work at DEF CON 34, the world’s largest cybersecurity conference, and the program aims to develop the next generation of aviation cybersecurity researchers. This development was reported by an unknown source.
