Space ISAC's Side Meeting at SmallSatSpace ISAC’s annual side meeting at the SmallSat Conference will explore how the accelerated advancement of small satellites is fundamentally transforming space missions, business models, and security threats—not merely expanding capabilities but redefining the strategic landscape. The discussion will focus on the shift toward novel missions, unconventional orbits, and large-scale constellations that collectively amplify both operational power and systemic vulnerability. Increasing reliance on commercial off-the-shelf components, software, and supply chains exposes these systems to embedded technical and operational risks that are often invisible until exploited. The meeting will also address the growing influence of venture capital and non-traditional partnerships, which may inadvertently introduce adversarial leverage points through financial, technical, or governance channels that are not yet fully understood or mitigated. Participants from military, civilian, industry, and academic sectors are invited to examine whether the adoption of new architectures and payloads is unknowingly integrating adversary strategies into national space systems. The event will challenge attendees to consider proactive measures for identifying, evaluating, and countering these latent threats before they manifest operationally. The meeting will be held in Room 251A at the Space ISAC facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, with registration required through a dedicated online portal to secure attendance. This gathering is not a procurement opportunity but a strategic forum aimed at fostering industry-wide awareness, collaboration, and responsible innovation in an increasingly complex and contested domain.
