Space Networking and Inter-Satellite Communications (LEO Mesh Ops) Essentials
"Space Networking and Inter-Satellite Communications (LEO Mesh Ops) Essentials" explores the architecture and protocols behind LEO satellite mesh networks and inter-satellite links. Participants learn how satellites communicate autonomously and relay data across orbital constellations. As these dynamic mesh systems are increasingly targeted for surveillance and disruption, the course emphasizes cybersecurity protocols such as encryption, link authentication, and intrusion detection for space-based networks. Graduates will understand how to safeguard spaceborne communications in low-latency, high-risk environments.
