Today, the near‐Earth space is facing a paradigm change as the number of new spacecraft is literally skyrocketing. Increasing numbers of small satellites threaten the sustainable use of space, as without removal, space debris will eventually make certain critical orbits unusable. A central factor affecting small spacecraft health and leading to debris is the radiation environment, which is unpredictable due to an incomplete understanding of the near‐Earth radiation environment itself and its variability driven by the solar wind and outer magnetosphere. This paper presents the FORESAIL‐1 nanosatellite mission, having two scientific and one technological objectives. The first scientific objective is to measure the energy and flux of energetic particle loss to the atmosphere with a representative energy and pitch angle resolution over a wide range of magnetic local times. To pave the way to novel model‐in situ data comparisons, we also show preliminary results on precipitating electron fluxes obtained with the new global hybrid‐Vlasov simulation Vlasiator. The second scientific objective of the FORESAIL‐1 mission is to measure energetic neutral atoms of solar origin. The solar energetic neutral atom flux has the potential to contribute importantly to the knowledge of solar eruption energy budget estimations. The technological objective is to demonstrate a satellite deorbiting technology, and for the first time, make an orbit maneuver with a propellantless nanosatellite. FORESAIL‐1 will demonstrate the potential for nanosatellites to make important scientific contributions as well as promote the sustainable utilization of space by using a cost‐efficient deorbiting technology.

The purpose of this study is to explore students' perceived information security and privacy (IS&P) threats and to classify them in a way that helps in analyzing the problem, creating awareness measures and further improving students' IS&P education. Using a qualitative research approach, a group of forty two Master's degree IT students identified seventy five IS&P threats related to them. The identified threats were classified into fourteen categories. Further, using the affinity diagraming technique, the categories were grouped into four domains -Personnel, Devices, Intranet and Internet. In this way, we defined a taxonomy of students' perceived IS&P threats as well as a model that highlights the domains where students consider themselves prone to IS&P threats. The proposed taxonomy and the domain model can be used as a benchmark for designing information security awareness assessment instruments as well as preparing information security awareness programs. The taxonomy can also be used for highlighting areas where students lack information security related knowledge.
