EAGLE-1 consortium lead SES announces a new key partner, TESAT, responsible for developing and integrating the Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) payload for the EAGLE-1 satellite. The SES and TESAT partnership is aimed at achieving the next key milestone in building and implementing Europe’s pioneering quantum secure communications initiative EAGLE-1. Supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission, EAGLE-1 is a quantum key system integrating both space and ground segments that will deliver secure transmission of encryption keys across geographically dispersed areas and connect EU’s national quantum communications infrastructures for truly sovereign networks.

To meet the growing demand for optical communication technologies from the U.S. Government and the space industry, TESAT is forming TESAT Government, a U.S.-based organization, and establishing a manufacturing facility in Merritt Island, Florida. TESAT Gov, as an Airbus U.S. Space & Defense subsidiary, can support both U.S.-only and classified work. The new company will deliver American-made Optical Communication Terminals (OCTs) for the U.S. security-restricted market by combining TESAT’s proven OCT technologies and U.S. security protected content.
