Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus for satellite operations with a secure enclave for secure hosted payload operations are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a disclosed method for payload operations comprises receiving, by a command receiver on a vehicle (e.g., a satellite), host commands from a host spacecraft operations center (SOC). The method further comprises reconfiguring a host payload on the vehicle according to the host commands. Also the method comprises transmitting, by a telemetry transmitter on the vehicle, host payload telemetry to the host SOC. In addition, the method comprises receiving, by a payload antenna on the vehicle, hosted commands from a secure enclave of the host SOC. Additionally, the method comprises reconfiguring a hosted payload on the vehicle according to the hosted commands. Further, the method comprises transmitting, by the payload antenna, host payload data, hosted payload data, and hosted telemetry to the secure enclave of the host SOC.
