It is similar to the acquisition of the infrastructure [T1583](Citation: MITRE ATT&CK) with the difference that in these cases adversaries break into them by compromising their security. They can get access to a ground segment, gain control of satellites, etc. Compromised satellites cam be used, apart from the 'typical' attacks, also e.g. for kinetic attacks, for creating botnets (e.g. for RF jamming, etc.). Such a threat is even bigger in case of compromise of numerous satellites part of a large LEO constellation of a 'New Space' mission. Relevant standards: (Citation: SRC038)
