Quantum laser pulse generator ready to power ESA QKDSat

GDELTSeptember 2, 20263 min read

Encrypting messages from space by taking advantage of the laws of quantum physics is the next step towards secure communications. A core technology enabling this capability has now been qualified for QKDSat, a European Space Agency (ESA) Partnership Project with Honeywell Aerospace, in collaboration with satellite prime contractor Redwire Europe. The mission will demonstrate secure pre-operational satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) services. A prototype of…
