AI-enabled cyberattacks could destabilize satellite constellations within two years Researchers warn AI-driven cyberattacks could manipulate or disable satellites within roughly two years, with attackers only needing to compromise a single spacecraft to cascade failures across constellations. Industry and military operators face growing pressure to harden onboard autonomy, ground links and supply chains against automated, adaptive threats.
