The Civil Applications Committee (CAC) is working on tracking an asteroid called Apus that will have a close approach to Earth in 2029. The CAC aims to raise awareness and gather remote sensing information about the asteroid, which could potentially cause significant damage if it were to impact the planet or even pass through the geo belt where satellites are located. 🛰️ The Apophis asteroid will have a close approach to Earth in 2029, posing a threat to satellites in the geo belt. 💡 The CAC aims to gather remote sensing information and imagery of the asteroid to enhance space situational awareness. 🚀 NASA is funding the CAC’s work and will be sending a mission to investigate the asteroid. 🌌 The CAC sees this as a unique opportunity for the geospatial community to collaborate and utilize resources to study the asteroid. 💥 The asteroid’s size (about 340m) makes it capable of causing significant damage if it were to impact Earth or pass through the geo belt. 🔭 Different sensors, such as hyperspectral and SAR, are being considered for analyzing the asteroid’s composition and behavior.

“Worlds are colliding!” is not just another random Seinfeld reference. It is a wake-up call for all practitioners to better understand how the convergence of domains like Cyber and Physical create places for failures at scale. The objective of this training is to demonstrate and guide the attendee through these vulnerabilities and dependencies regardless of their cyber, networking, geospatial and/or GEOINT practitioner level. Single domain threat catalogs are not enough. Multi-domain threat catalogs are required to design and operate systems that are safe, secure and resilient. By creating stakeholder relevant models, previously undocumented attack vectors, hidden dependencies, and inter-domain control gaps can be identified. Further methodologies and test scripts (called “attack packs”) will be shared which were developed to simulate multi-domain attacks, which lead to cascading failures achieving a very specific objective. This is how we Smoke Supply Chains!…
