Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus for satellite operations with secure enclave for secure inband hosted payload operations are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a method for payload operations comprises receiving, by a vehicle, host commands from a satellite operation portion of a host spacecraft operations center (SOC). The method further comprises reconfiguring a payload and at least bus component on the vehicle according to the host commands. Also, the method comprises transmitting, by the vehicle, host telemetry to the satellite operation portion of the host SOC. In addition, the method comprises receiving, by the vehicle, hosted commands from a secure enclave of the host SOC. Additionally, the method comprises reconfiguring the payload on the vehicle according to the hosted commands. Further, the method comprises transmitting, by a payload antenna on the vehicle, host payload data, hosted payload data, and the encrypted hosted telemetry to the secure enclave.
