While space system cybersecurity literature is expanding to address needs of an expanding space-cyber convergence, this book is a first-of-its-kind technical resource acting as a practical introduction to readers with a background in space operations as well as those in both offensive and defensive cybersecurity, introducing the unique constraints, challenges, and methodologies performing space system cybersecurity. This book will prime the reader with the knowledge needed to understand space operations and foundational knowledge of what impacts cyber threats can have on space systems and how cybersecurity must rise to meet them. 

The book will then introduce readers to resources and processes necessary to establish best-practices in applying cybersecurity services and solutions to space system attack surfaces. The Space Attack Research & Tactic Analysis framework will be leveraged as a foundation for developing requisite knowledge on the art of the possible regarding space system cyber threat actors and mitigation. 

Case studies and methodologies will be presented to build on the introductory space-cyber convergence information and frameworks, enabling readers to perform their own cybersecurity activities on space systems. Readers will then follow-along and/or perform the applied exercises and labs contained within the book to develop practical space system cybersecurity skills.
