View Part 1, Introduction to New Space, Part 2, Cybersecurity Threats in New Space, and Part 3, Securing the New Space, in this series.
After the previous three parts of this series, we ascertain that the technological evolution of New Space ventures expanded the threats that targeted the space system components. These threats could be countered by various cybersecurity measures.
However, the New Space has brought about a significant shift in the industry. This wave of innovation is reshaping the future of space exploration.
5G and 6G Technologies
The New Space age is crucial in the development of groundbreaking technologies.
Many experiments have been made to make 5G the adopted standard for space. The American Department of Defense (DoD) said that they conducted some experiments for satellite-direct-to-phone connections.
In addition, SatixFy Technology,a satellite communication provider company, announced that they have successfully demonstrated 5G backhaul communications connected to one of their satellites in Low Earth Orbit.
The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the international organization responsible for defining technical specifications for mobile wireless networks, developed a set of standards for space-based 5G.
Space-based platforms for 5G will provide high throughput and less latency.
The purpose is to answer effectively to some use cases like edge computing, IoT service continuity and fixed backhaul to remote locations that are underserved.
Even though 5G has not yet reached maturity, the sixth generation of mobile communication networks is under standardization and development.
The 6G e ..
