On 25 July, our CEO, Johannes Verst, had the honour of attending the ceremonial commissioning of the first German research satellite for quantum communication by State Secretary Rolf-Dieter Jungk, Dr. (BMFTR). Launched on 16 Aug 2024, QUBE 1 successfully operates with a weight < 3.5 kg and 27,500 km/h in orbit 480 km above ground – and since today finally with its small quantum QKD and QRNG modules. Special congratulations to Christoph Marquardt and team from MPQ for this pioneering work. QUBE I is a project of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, OHB SE, Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation, Zentrum für Telematik e.V. and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg funded by the German Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). “While it is still a long way to a fully operational global network of 6000 QUBE satellites the project demonstrates the world leading research, interdisciplinary collaboration and successful tech transfer. Together with our European efforts including EuroQCI we are paving the way towards a quantum-safe, secure and sovereign future.” says Johannes Verst, CEO at QBN. We’re Looking forward to QUBE II and ultimately a fully operational quantum communication system that provides the entire globe with secure quantum keys and communication channels! We also encourage the BMFTR, EC and EU member states to join forces to make sure these 6000 QKD satellites will be launched from European soil.
