QSpace Technologies is a Russian developer of quantum key distribution (KRK) systems. The CRK technology is designed to ensure the maximum level of information protection guaranteed by the laws of physics. It is used to transmit sensitive data, but by January 2022 only through a fiber optic cable, which limits the range to 200km. When launching a satellite as a "trusted node," this problem can be solved, calculated in QSpace.
History
2023: Participating in the development of a quantum-protected channel between Russia and China using a satellite
A team of scientists from MISIS University, the Russian Quantum Center (RCC) and KuSpace Technologies conducted a joint experiment on the transmission of messages protected by quantum cryptography between Russia and China. MISIS announced this on December 1, 2023.
To transfer the key for enciphering a distance of more than 3500 km, a unique quantum satellite communications "" Mo-tszy developed by scientists was used. PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA More. here
2022: Attraction of 71.7 million rubles from Gazprombank
On January 28, 2022, Gazprombank announced the investment of 71.7 million rubles in QSpace. The developer of the quantum satellite communication project estimates the need for financing at 220 million rubles by the end of 2024. This money is needed to design a satellite and "make some layouts." A CubeSat satellite with a CRK system transmitter on board is scheduled to launch in 2023.
Attracting a large investor will allow us to demonstrate the performance of the technology, and the use of small CubeSat satellites will do so for the minimum possible money. Such satellites are used mainly as technical demonstrators of the capabilities of systems and equipment, "said Valentin Tolstykh, project manager at QSpace, commenting on the deal with Gazprombank. |
Ivan Kosenkov, Senior Project Manager for Space Technologies of the Skolkovo Foundation's cluster of advanced production technologies, believes that Gazprombank may in the future be interested in the practical use of protected communications technologies for its operations.[1]
The QSpace project is excellent evidence that Skolkovo participants are able to develop in advanced areas of technology. Other space powers - the United States, the United Kingdom, India - also declare plans for the development of quantum key distribution technologies. Here Russia has a chance to remain at the forefront of technological developments, he stressed. |
