Stage Capabilities: Identify/Select Delivery Mechanism

Threat actors may identify, select, and prepare a delivery mechanism in which to attack the space system (i.e., communicate with the victim ground station, deny the ground, etc.) to achieve their desired impact. This mechanism may be located on infrastructure that was previously purchased or rented by the threat actor or was otherwise compromised by them. The mechanism must include all aspects needed to communicate with the spacecraft, including ground antenna, converters, and amplifiers.
