As our lives become increasingly dependent on technologies that lie deep in space and the commercialization of space accelerates above us… we must do what it takes to secure our universe. In its 3rd year, Hack-A-Sat is designed to inspire the world’s top cybersecurity talent to develop the skills necessary to help reduce vulnerabilities and build more secure space systems.
The United States Air Force and the United States Space Force jointly present Hack-A-Sat, which is open to all cybersecurity researchers who want to up their skills and knowledge of space cybersecurity. This Capture-The-Flag challenge begins with a Qualification Event and culminates in an attack/defend style Final Event.
Over the past two years, the Hack-A-Sat community has learned a lot about hacking in space. We’ve learned to keep our batteries charged, terms like nadir and how to compute quaternions in our sleep. As a result, Hack-A-Sat 3 offers the most realistic space environment yet.
We’re building a global alliance of hackers, researchers and everyday enthusiasts who nerd out on hacking and securing the future of space. Along the way, we’re continuing to make our learnings public, so anyone can catch up, learn and play in our evolving library of resources available here.
Time is of the essence. With so much of our lives dependent on technology in space, we must do what it takes to secure it now. We must Learn. Space. Faster… for the good of the planet and to prepare for Hack-A-Sat 4, which will be the first-ever on-orbit hacking competition. Watch the video to learn more.

The inaugural Hack-A-Sat was a Capture the Flag competition designed to spark interest and advance the skills of security researchers to secure space systems. The event started with a Qualification Round in Spring 2020. Over 6,000 competitors took part, organized into 2,213 registered teams. Eight teams emerged to compete at the final Capture the Flag event at DEF CON Safemode 28. Over the course of two days, competitors worked through a series of five flatsat challenges and had the chance to have one of their solutions uploaded to an on-orbit satellite—all while spectators watched the action and learned more about cyber security in space through a unique 3D Hacker’s Den environment.

The United States Air Force and United States Space Force presented the second annual Hack-A-Sat (HAS) competition, which was open to all cybersecurity researchers seeking to up their skills and knowledge of space cybersecurity. The challenge began with over 1,000 teams competing in a qualification round in June 2021. From there, the top eight teams competed in a 24-hour virtual attack/defend style Capture the Flag Event last December. It was a space showdown involving collaborative hacking in a space-simulated environment while viewers caught the action here on hacksat.com.
I don't know if this a legitimate call to arms or just autist bait.
Yeah saw this today for the first time. What’s it all about?
