FlatSat 1 Satellite Cybersecurity Training Board

FlatSat 1 is an intentionally vulnerable hardware platform for learning satellite-system cybersecurity, RF communications and embedded-device research in a controlled lab.

Before you order

This listing is for a single FlatSat 1 training board. A computer is required. An SDR receiver and suitable antenna, a second FlatSat board, and debugging equipment are separate purchases when required by your chosen exercise. Paid training or course enrollment is not listed as included.

Hardware

• RP2040 microcontroller.
• Two SX1262 LoRa radios for communications exercises.
• BME280 environmental sensor and LIS2DH accelerometer for telemetry experiments.
• Open hardware and firmware documentation.

What you can learn

Explore simulated spacecraft telemetry, radio protocols, firmware behavior and security weaknesses using equipment you own or are authorized to test. The current project includes progressive lab and CTF exercises; requirements vary by firmware version and exercise.

Setup and additional equipment

Start with the official documentation for your board revision. Basic USB setup does not require soldering. Over-the-air observation exercises require a separate SDR and antenna; full two-board workshops require another FlatSat. Advanced firmware debugging may require an SWD probe and soldered connections. Confirm the appropriate radio settings for your region before transmitting.
