The Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Space ISAC) has successfully launched the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Owner Operators Affinity Group. This new group aims to unite Commercial Owner Operators to tackle shared threat and security concerns effectively. Space ISAC's Affinity Groups are aligned by market sector, with a clear focus on fostering collaboration among Commercial Owner Operators in various fields, including radar, optical, and communications, to enhance understanding, design, and reporting of security threats.

The inaugural event featured key stakeholders from the FBI, DHS, US Space Force, Capella Space, and Viasat, underscoring the key role of collaborative efforts in threat intelligence sharing within the LEO community. The successful gathering emphasized the essential benefits of inter-organizational cooperation to address the growing security challenges in space.

Engagement at the event was high, with participants discussing innovative strategies, networking, and exchanging best practices. The value of shared intelligence was a central theme, highlighted as crucial for bolstering the resilience of the space sector.

Frank Backes, CEO of Capella Space, noted the significance of the group, stating, We are honored to co-chair the LEO Owner Operators Affinity Group to help facilitate collaboration with other leading Commercial Owner Operators in the field. Capella Space's expertise in low Earth orbit signals intelligence will bring unique value in better understanding threats to space infrastructure.

Members of the LEO Owner Operators Affinity Group include various commercial space enterprises that are active participants of Space ISAC and operate assets in LEO. The group's mission is to serve as a critical platform for disseminating information on security architecture, detection methodologies, and threat identification to strengthen security measures among LEO stakeholders.
