Mass-produced, upgradeable satellites are about to transform U.S. space power. In his latest article for Forbes, SpiderOak Chairman Charles Beames highlights how the Space Development Agency’s upcoming launch of 21 communication satellites marks a radical shift in affordability, scalability, and resiliency for the #SpaceForce. As military operations move into a dynamic low-earth orbit regime, one thing is clear: the #futureofspace defense depends not only on speed and scale, but also on secure, trusted communications across these new architectures. At SpiderOak, that’s the problem we’re solving—building #zerotrust, space-ready #cybersecurity to ensure the integrity and end to end protection of #missioncritical data.

🛰️ Militarization of Space: Protecting Our Digital Lifeline 👉 https://lnkd.in/gJdzvwD7 Satellites power everything from GPS and banking to defense and communications—but they’re increasingly under threat. Hacking, jamming, and even the potential deployment of space-based weapons highlight how fragile our orbital infrastructure has become. In this episode, I discuss why space is rapidly becoming a contested battleground, what the U.S. Space Force and allies are doing to defend our assets, and why we need to accelerate investment in high-altitude pseudo-satellites (HAPS) as a resilient backup network. Our digital lifeline depends on it. The time to act is now. 💬 What do you think—should space remain a peaceful frontier, or are we already past that point? #MilitarizationOfSpace #Satellites #SpaceSecurity #USSpaceForce #Geopolitics #HAPS #DigitalLifeline #FutureOfWar #SpaceTechnology

"Satellites and Sovereignty: The Hidden Battles in Orbit" When we think of geopolitics, our minds turn to land, sea, and air. But the real battleground of the future, and increasingly, the present, is space. Today, more than 6,500 satellites orbit Earth, powering everything from weather forecasts to stock trades. Yet, beneath this convenience lies a new form of silent warfare: - ASAT weapons (anti-satellite systems) can cripple economies with a single strike. - Cyber intrusions on satellites can blind militaries without firing a shot. - Space debris, already numbering over 100 million pieces, can turn orbit into an unmanageable minefield. The dilemma is clear: Who controls the space highways controls global power. Unlike oil routes or shipping lanes, outer space has no universally enforced governance. The treaties are outdated, and national space programs are racing ahead of international law. The provocation: Will space remain a shared commons, or will it become the ultimate arena of power projection? #SpaceEconomy #Geopolitics #Satellites #FutureOfWar #CyberSecurity #FourthDomain
