contents Space infrastructures represent an emerging domain that is critical to the global economy and society. However, this domain is vulnerable to attacks, including cyber attacks and other kinds of attacks. To enhance the resilience of this domain, we must understand these attacks that can be waged against it and the defenses that can be employed to mitigate these attacks. The status quo is that there is neither a systematic understanding of these attacks against, nor defenses for, space infrastructures, despite their clear importance in guiding systematic analysis of space security and future research. In this paper, we fill the void by proposing the first systematic taxonomy of attacks against, and defenses for, space infrastructures. We hope this paper will inspire a community effort at refining the taxonomy towards a widely used one.
