Chandrayaan 3 Safe Landing

The successful landing of Chandrayaan 3 on the moon on August 23, 2023 was a major milestone for ISRO. But it was also a major cybersecurity achievement in this mission.


That's because the spacecraft's systems were protected by a robust cybersecurity framework that helped to ensure its safe operation. This framework included a variety of measures, Like

Protect sensitive spacecraft data from unauthorised access.

  • Safeguard against cyberattacks to ensure spacecraft functionality.

  • Ensure the availability of vital services like communication and navigation.

  • Defend against disruptions that harm infrastructure.

  • Prevent the theft of valuable intellectual property on spacecraft.

  • Guard telemetry, navigation, and mission control data.

  • Mitigate risks of cyber interference in spacecraft operations.

  • Secure critical services like weather forecasting from cyberattacks.

  • Shield proprietary software and hardware designs from theft.

  • Counter threats to maintain spacecraft integrity and mission success.

The successful landing of Chandrayaan 3 is a testament to the importance of cybersecurity in space exploration. As we continue to explore the cosmos, it is essential that we take steps to protect our spacecraft from cyber threats.
