SAN FRANCISCO – SpiderOak announced the successful demonstration Aug 29 of OrbitSecure zero-trust cybersecurity software on the International Space Station.
Working with Axiom Space and an Amazon Web Services edge computing device, SpiderOak securely transmitted operations traffic between ground networks and low-Earth orbit. Data sent to ISS was transmitted through NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay constellation.
“What we’ve demonstrated involves a ton of different vendors and different moving parts,” Matthew Erickson, SpiderOak vice president solutions, told SpaceNews. “This is a mixed commercial-civil demonstration involving manned spaceflight with the ISS, relay networks through TDRS, as well as Axiom’s ground segment and the AWS compute on the ISS.”
