SpiderOak, a secure online storage provider, recently announced that they had successfully demonstrated their OrbitSecure communication platform using the International Space Station and the European Space Agency’s Columbus module. The demonstration showed that reliable, secure communication of data can be done from the ground to space and back. This is the latest in a series of experiments by the company to test the viability of its OrbitSecure platform in extreme conditions. OrbitSecure is designed to provide secure communication, whatever the operating environment. In the case of the experiment assembly on the ISS, the secure data transmissions were sent to and from the smartphone device strapped to the outside of the Columbus module, operated from the ground facility in California. The OrbitSecure platform is designed to be capable of operations across all kinds of applications, ranging from remote sensing to medical applications. This type of system is important for reliable and secure communication in extreme conditions, as it eliminates latency and other negative consequences associated with less secure communication protocols. This is especially important in the space industry, as there can be serious implications with regard to safety and operations when communication data is lost or compromised. The development of technologies such as OrbitSecure, which can provide secure communication in extreme conditions, is an important step forward for the space industry. Orbit
