⚠️ Supply Chain Vulnerability Hotspots

Cross-Sector Supply Chain Dependencies

Military, civil, and commercial space programs share the same industrial base and supply chains

🛡️ Military/National Security
🔬 Civil/NASA
💼 Commercial
⟵ Shared suppliers, workforce, facilities, and technology ⟶

A disruption to any shared supplier ripples across all three sectors. For example, radiation-hardened chip shortages delay military satellites, NASA missions, and commercial constellations simultaneously.
