PE-6(1) - Monitoring Physical Access | Intrusion Alarms and Surveillance Equipment

Monitor physical access to the facility where the system resides using physical intrusion alarms and surveillance equipment.


ID: PE-6(1)
Enhancement of : PE-6

Space Segment Guidance

Although on-orbit vehicles cannot host motion sensors or cameras, their terrestrial integration labs and launch-site clean rooms can. The enhancement directs the installation of automated video and badge analytics that alert security when a technician approaches flight hardware outside an approved shift. Logs from these systems must link to the configuration-management database, proving that no physical access occurred between the time a harness was closed and the final image checksum. Alerts within five minutes allow security to intercept and document anomalies before compromised components move forward in the flow.
