Space Segment Guidance

Information-impact reporting focuses on whether an incident exposed, modified, or destroyed mission data. For a spacecraft, this means documenting any loss of confidentiality of command keys, unauthorized change to on-board configuration tables, or corruption of collected payload data. The incident report template must include a section that maps each affected data element to mission consequences, such as degraded imaging resolution or loss of thrust margin. This structured impact statement drives the authorizing official’s decision to restrict operations, rekey the vehicle, or activate alternate assets.
