Abstract
A method for hosted payload operations comprises transmitting, by a hosted payload (HoP) operation center (HOC), encrypted hosted commands to a host spacecraft operations center (SOC). The method further comprises transmitting, by the host SOC, encrypted host commands and the encrypted hosted commands to a vehicle. Also, the method comprises reconfiguring a host payload according to unencrypted host commands, and reconfiguring a hosted payload according to unencrypted hosted commands. Additionally, the method comprises transmitting host payload data to a host receiving antenna. Also, the method comprises transmitting hosted payload data to a hosted receiving antenna and/or the host receiving antenna. Additionally, the method comprises transmitting, by a host telemetry transmitter, encrypted host telemetry to the host SOC; and transmitting, by a hosted telemetry transmitter, encrypted hosted telemetry to the host SOC. Further, the method comprises transmitting, by the host SOC, the encrypted hosted telemetry to the HOC.
