Destruction of sensors

Parent: T2028

Description

An attacker could target and destroy the sensors onboard of a satellite. This may involve damaging optical, infrared, radar, or other sensing equipment critical to the satellite's mission. Destroying sensors can severely impair the satellite’s ability to gather and transmit valuable data, rendering it ineffective or causing mission failure. These sensors are often vital for navigation, Earth observation, and other scientific objectives.
