Increasing demand for satellite communications connectivity and ground observation data, along with the continued conflict in Ukraine and escalating international geopolitical tensions in Gaza and Israel, has sparked a burgeoning interest and substantial investment in the space economy. 

The global space industry, currently valued at around $350 billion, projected to be worth $1 trillion by 2040. With so much at stake,  securing space-based systems has become a  crritical issue.

The Head of Space at the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications for Estonia, Paul Liias has said that the main drivers of investment are geopolitical tensions and the increasing demand for satellite communications. “Over the last 12 months as well, the conflict in Ukraine has underscored the strategic importance of space-based satellites and systems, more so than was the case three or four years ago... More than ever, we have a responsibility to manage and protect these systems properly with the latest cybersecurity measures,” Liias in advance the Software Defined Space Conference in Estonia.

The 3rd annual SDSC event focuses on cyber security in space, will take place Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 in Tallinn. The primary focus of this year’s event focused on software development and cyber security  in space technology. 

Liias focused on the importance of cyber security, saying that in order to protect space-based systems from cyber attacks, it is absolutely crucial to bring down the costs. “Developers working in space cyber security have to manage competing priorities. On the one hand, they must investigate, identify, and understand potential threats, and on the other, develop effective countermeasures at an affordable price point. Making space cyber security accessible and affordable is key,” he said.

Estonia is the home of the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence and has been focusing on protecting critical infrastructure like power grids and government IT systems. The goernment now wants to apply its cyber security expertise to space-based assets.
