Task Forces
Space ISAC Summit Task Force
Members assist to develop the agenda and working sessions for the annual Space ISAC Value of Space Summit (VOSS).
Open to: Members
Space Innovation Test Bed (SITB) Task Force
The Space Innovation Test Bed (SITB) is a diverse environment operated by Space ISAC members. It enables the categorization and development of enhanced space capabilities and protections within five specialized labs. These labs include the Data Mine Lab, Space Innovation Lab, Cyber Vulnerability Lab, Electromagnetic Lab, and Supply Chain Risk Management Lab.
The primary mission of the SITB is three-fold; to foster collaborative research, promote the integration of cutting-edge innovation, and develop practical solutions for space-related fields. The SITB is governed by the SITB Task Force, chartered with the responsibility of adopting and monitoring the progression of space-related solutions for existing and future space-related challenges. It is estimated the SITB Task Force will lead the SITB to an initial operating capability by 2025.
Open to: Members
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Task Force
The SBOM Task Force is dedicated to advancing the implementation, standardization, and operationalization of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) within the space industry.
