Space Segment Guidance

In a space context, correlation among different monitoring activities can be vital to spotting subtle anomalies across the spacecraft bus, payloads, and ground links.  For example, if the on-board intrusion detection system detects repeated unauthorized command attempts.  At the same time, telemetry shows unusual power consumption in a payload; this combined view can help ground operators act decisively.  Automating these correlations, pulling data from both spacecraft logs and ground-segment security events, helps reveal patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.  By integrating separate metrics into a common analysis framework, mission teams more rapidly differentiate normal mission evolution from adversarial behaviors or accidental faults.
