Is ISS at risk?

http://www.spacenews.com/civil/12011...-data-htv.html could a terrorist command a HTV to ram ISS??? Hard to say without knowing that information the virus has released, and whether there are adequate security protocols for the data channel that controls the satellite. In theory, in the absence of adequate controls, and if the terrorist has obtained enough information, I suppose they could takeover the satellite. They might need their own ground station to do it. On the whole, I don't see it. It would be a lot of effort to possibly kill a handful of people who are already engaged in a dangerous enterprise, and claims of responibility would very likely be disbelieved. Of those who don't think it was a genuine accident, most would probably think the CIA did it. Sylvia. |

And yes it has been worried about. Though it would require lots of cooperation but some nation like Iran could pull it off. I didn't mention the means.......................Trig |

could a terrorist command a HTV to *ram ISS??? Vanishingly unlikely. Could a terrorist fart and hit ISS with debris? Well saddam H could of attempted to hit ISS with a scud, it was theoritcally possible |

It would have required lots of upgrades. Starting with substantially more delta-v. It doesn't need to enter the same orbit as the ISS, but it does need to reach that altitude. Sylvia. |

Sylvia.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - with a small explosive and lots of ball bearings targeting wouldnt have to be percise. if you think about it the ISS might not have to be in the area when a scud detonated a clould of shrapnel or ball bearings, ISS would conveniently pass thru the cloud, and at least damage the station badly......... |
