State or Mode Manipulation
Description
| Vector | Illustrative Application |
|---|---|
| Collect | If the objective is Collect, an adversary could place the spacecraft or payload into a diagnostic mode that exposes protected engineering data or internal system information. |
| Pivot | If the objective is Pivot, an adversary could force a communications subsystem into a relay or bridging mode that provides access to another connected asset or trust domain. |
| Subvert | TIf the objective is Subvert, an adversary could force repeated transitions into safe mode to interrupt mission operations and draw defenders toward an apparent spacecraft fault. |
| Seize | If the objective is Seize, an adversary could place the spacecraft into a maintenance, bypass, or manual-control mode that permits unauthorized tasking of a payload or mission function. |
| Disable | If the objective is Disable, an adversary could hold the spacecraft in a non-mission mode that prevents it from performing its intended mission or an essential mission function. |

Mappings
No mappings have been made here yet. That is a statement about this corpus, not about the law: it means curation has not reached this entity, not that nothing applies to it.
No ruling has been recorded either way.
Cite as SafeMode Space, IMP-0008 (SPARTA v4.0), https://safemode.space/reference/techniques/imp-0008, accessed YYYY-MM-DD. Replace YYYY-MM-DD with the date you read the page; the corpus is curated continuously, so mappings can change between readings. To cite one mapping rather than this page, append its anchor to the URL — every mapping row has an id of the form technique--collection--target, the same on every page that lists it. See how to cite.
