SAN FRANCISCO – SpiderOak announced the successful demonstration Aug 29 of OrbitSecure zero-trust cybersecurity software on the International Space Station.
Working with Axiom Space and an Amazon Web Services edge computing device, SpiderOak securely transmitted operations traffic between ground networks and low-Earth orbit. Data sent to ISS was transmitted through NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay constellation.
