  • DE-0001Disable Fault ManagementST0006

    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    direct

    WDT registers and supervisor commands are critical-function controls; 81(3)(b) restricts which entities can edit them.

  • 81(3)(c) requires IAM protocols to be tailored to standard operations and emergency situations — safe-mode is the emergency context DE-0005 exploits, and the obligation forbids unbounded relaxation.

  • DE-0006Modify WhitelistST0006
    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    Whitelist edits are critical-function actions; 81(3)(b) restricts which entities can write to enforcement tables.

  • 81(3)(b)'s restrict-access-to-critical-functions clause directly governs who can issue low-level hardware commands (memory-mapped writes, fuse-programming, actuator primitives) that bypass high-level mediation.

  • EX-0010Malicious CodeST0004
    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    81(3)(b)'s restrict-access-to-critical-functions clause limits which entities can write to executable regions, load tables, or invoke maintenance consoles that deliver malicious code.

  • EX-0012Modify On-Board ValuesST0004
    addresses
    high
    direct

    Direct memory commands, table loaders, and maintenance procedures that edit on-board values must be governed by 81(3)(b)'s restrict-access-to-critical-functions clause — the population that can invoke these mechanisms must be bounded.

  • EX-0012.01RegistersST0004
    addresses
    high
    direct

    Internal-register writes during FSW operation are critical-function actions — 81(3)(b) restricts the population that can issue register-modification commands.

  • EX-0012.03Memory Write/LoadsST0004
    addresses
    high
    direct

    Direct memory write/load commands are precisely the critical-function-access scenario 81(3)(b) restricts — only authorized identities should be able to invoke raw memory operations.

  • EX-0012.05Scheduling AlgorithmST0004
    addresses
    high
    direct

    Real-time scheduling parameters (priorities, periods, deadlines, watchdog thresholds) are critical-function configuration — 81(3)(b)'s access restriction governs which entities can edit these.

  • EX-0012.07Propulsion SubsystemST0004
    addresses
    high
    direct

    Propulsion is a critical function — 81(3)(b)'s restrict-access-to-critical-functions clause is foundational for who can edit thruster calibration, valve timing, and inhibit masks.

  • ADCS parameters (sensor alignments, estimator covariances, controller gains) are critical-function configuration; 81(3)(b)'s access restriction limits who can write to these.

  • EX-0012.09Electrical Power SubsystemST0004
    addresses
    high
    direct

    Electrical power subsystem parameters govern survival; 81(3)(b)'s restrict-access-to-critical-functions clause applies to bus voltage limits, MPPT setpoints, battery thresholds.

  • C&DH tables (opcode-to-handler maps, queue depths, message ID routing) are core control-flow configuration — 81(3)(b)'s critical-function restriction governs who can modify these.

  • EXF-0006Modify Communications ConfigurationST0008
    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    Communications-link configuration is a critical-function setting under 81(3)(b)'s scope — only restricted entities should be able to edit transponder routing or modulation profiles.

  • EXF-0006.01Software Defined RadioST0008
    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    SDR profile/configuration changes are critical-function actions; 81(3)(b)'s access restriction governs which entities can write to SDR control planes.

  • EXF-0007Compromised Ground SystemST0008
    addresses
    high
    direct

    81(3)(a) explicitly safeguards access to the ground segment and centres for the control of the space segment — the precise infrastructure EXF-0007 attacks.

    direct

    81(3)(b)'s restriction-of-access-to-critical-functions obligation governs which docking-interface tooling can write to bus gateways or push firmware loads.

    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    81(3)(a)'s safeguard-access-to-the-space-segment clause covers physical-access pathways — debug interfaces and checkout connectors that grappling exposes are critical-equipment entry points.

  • IA-0006Compromise Hosted PayloadST0003
    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    81(3)(b)'s restriction-of-access-to-critical-functions covers the boundary between hosted payload and host bus — limiting the population that can issue payload commands or alter memory across the gateway.

  • IA-0007Compromise Ground SystemST0003
    addresses
    high
    direct

    81(3)(a) explicitly requires safeguarding access to the ground segment and centres for the control of the space segment — the precise infrastructure IA-0007 attacks.

  • 81(3)(c) requires identity-and-access-management protocols to be tailored to standard operations and to emergency situations — safe-mode is exactly the emergency case where IA-0010 exploits relaxed checks; the obligation forbids unbounded relaxation.

    direct

    81(3)(b)'s restrict-access-to-critical-functions limits which entities can write to non-volatile partitions, fuses, and golden-image stores.

  • RD-0002.01Mission-Operated Ground SystemST0002
    mitigates
    moderate
    direct

    81(3)(a)'s safeguarding of access to the ground segment and centres for control of the space segment, combined with (b) restricting access to critical assets/functions, mitigates lateral spread post-initial-access into mission ground.

  • REC-0001.06Maneuver & ControlST0001
    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    81(3)(b) restricts physical and logical access to critical assets, critical functions, and critical operations — propulsion and attitude-control documentation typically falls in this category, restricting the population that can read GNC artifacts.

    addresses
    moderate
    direct

    FDIR is a critical function; 81(3)(b)'s access-restriction-to-critical-functions clause restricts access to fault-management documentation and tooling.
