Content You Don’t Want to Miss🔒

SATShow is packed with valuable content all week long and every day brings insights you won’t want to miss. Here are two groundbreaking sessions designed for leaders serious about defense and security.

AI-Enabled Cyber Defense for End-to-End Space Systems

The cybersecurity landscape for space systems is evolving rapidly, with threats now spanning the entire lifecycle of a mission. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a vital enabler, helping to:

• Enhance threat detection
• Automate anomaly recognition
• Accelerate incident response
• Support self-healing operations

But AI also introduces unique challenges: adversarial attacks, poisoned training data, and compromised inference pipelines can lead to false positives, operational disruptions, or even satellite misbehavior. This session explains why AI cyber hardening is essential, not just as a technical matter, but as a strategic and reputational imperative.

Sustaining the Shield: How Servicing Supports Proliferated Defense Architecture

As the United States accelerates its investment in defense constellations, it faces a strategic inflection point: launching more satellites is no longer enough. Military space systems must be logistically supported, just as terrestrial forces rely on robust sustainment infrastructure.

This panel explores the role of on-orbit servicing in enabling replenishable and resilient space architectures, such as:

• Refueling, inspection, and maneuvering to keep satellites mission-ready
• Persistent coverage in contested environments
• Rapid asset repositioning and lifecycle extension to maximize defense assets

Once considered aspirational, these capabilities are becoming operational realities, laying the groundwork for sustainable and resilient defense in space.
