Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the number of CubeSats and other small satellites in orbit - these have highly constrained computational and communication resources, but still require robust secure communication to operate effectively. The QUIC transport layer protocol is designed to provide efficient communication with cryptography guarantees built-in, with a particular focus on networks with high latency and packet loss. In this work we provide spaceQUIC, a proof of concept implementation of QUIC for NASA's "core Flight System" satellite operating system, and assess its performance.
