A rogue Raspberry Pi helped hackers access NASA JPL systems
[ad_1] Diving deeper into the system gave the hackers access to several major missions, including NASA’s Deep Space Network — its network of spacecraft communication facilities. As a result, the security teams of some sensitive programs, such as the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and the International Space Station, have chosen to disconnect from the agency’s […]
NASA proves its space helicopter can fly on Mars
