Moonlighter, a groundbreaking project dubbed the “first-ever hacking sandbox in space,” will revolutionize satellite hacking as it ventures into low-Earth orbit in August.  This pioneering effort promises to push the boundaries of cybersecurity by providing a unique platform for hacking in outer space. The innovative cyber test platform known as Moonlighter has been unleashed through a strategic alliance between Space Systems Command (SSC) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).  This compact 3U CubeSat empowers the national security space community by providing a remarkable opportunity to engage in live testing and acquire knowledge directly from orbit.
