European Space Agency

The European Space Agency (ESA) develops quantum technologies for space applications through various quantum research programs and initiatives, investigating quantum communication satellites, quantum sensing for space exploration, quantum navigation systems, and quantum computing applications for space missions, conducting research in quantum key distribution via satellite networks, quantum-enhanced sensing for Earth observation, and quantum technologies for deep space communication, collaborating with European quantum technology companies and research institutions to advance space-based quantum systems that could revolutionize secure communications, precision navigation, and scientific measurements in space environments.
