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.
