Satellite Signal Jamming Reaches New Lows

Cars That Think

University research groups are also launching tiny, standardized cube satellites (CubeSats) into LEO for research and demonstration purposes. One response to the risks of software-defined radio and the fact that modern low-cost satellites require firmware updates is to include some simple physical security.
