A disclosed method for a virtual transponder utilizing inband telemetry comprises transmitting, by a hosted payload (HoP) operation center (HOC), encrypted hosted commands to a host spacecraft operations center (SOC). The method further comprises transmitting, by the host SOC, encrypted host commands and encrypted hosted commands to a vehicle. Also, the method comprises reconfiguring a payload on the vehicle according to unencrypted host commands and/or unencrypted hosted commands. In addition, the method comprises transmitting payload data to a host receiving antenna and/or a hosted receiving antenna. Also, the method comprises transmitting encrypted telemetry to the host SOC and the HOC. In addition, the method comprises transmitting encrypted telemetry to the hosted receiving antenna. Further, the method comprises transmitting, by the hosted receiving antenna, the encrypted telemetry to the HOC.
