JBernard Caplo, airman from the 707th CS. There were three separate objectives for the teams to accomplish: system hardening, offensive cyber operations and satellite operations.<br\/><br\/>To prevent any unfair advantages, each team was provided a space mission kit that contained commercial off-the-shelf items needed to complete the two segments of the challenge, space and ground.<br\/><br\/>The two segments required the teams to develop a cube sat containing a sensor board and simulated satellite thrusters using light-emitting diodes, and to secure a functioning ground station that allowed their cube sats to communicate through a secure shell connection.<br\/><br\/><br\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Take off\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-object-id=\"0000015c-b192-df75-a9fd-b9f22f110000\" data-type=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/snagfilms-a.akamaihd.net\/ab\/4f\/844136484152bcf698406109cd8f\/take-off.JPG\"\/><figcaption> <span>The glowing LED lights on a miniature satellite, or CubeSat, simulate its thrusters firing during a demonstration May 22, 2017, in Linthicum Heights, Maryland.
