TU Delft Cybersecurity MSc student participated at the 2024 European Space Agency (ESA) Academy Training
In April 2024, the European Space Agency (ESA) Academy launched the pilot edition of a five-day Cybersecurity Training Course . After an open call, thirty highly motivated Bachelor and Master students were selected to attend the course at ESEC-Galaxia, Belgium — the ESA Education Training and Learning Facility. First-year TU Delft Cybersecurity Master student Jegor Zelenjak was selected to attend the event. During the Cybersecurity Training Course, the students have gained invaluable knowledge about Cybersecurity in the space domain, in the areas of Cyber Risk Management, (Applied) Cryptography, CCSDS Space Protocols, Radio Frequency (RF) communications, Software Defined Radio (SDRs) and RF Attacks and Jamming to Space Systems. Besides theoretical knowledge, the course provided practical exercises to help students understand the material better. The group project allowed the students further to apply their knowledge in a real-world operational scenario, while also allowing them to learn from other group mates with the same or different backgrounds. Finally, as part of the course, the participants also visited the ESEC-Redu site, which has satellite communications facilities and upcoming cybersecurity centres. The participants have also received a certificate of participation and a course transcript.
