UC Investments, Quantacet, and UCeed participated in Qubic's funding round.

Qubic closed an oversubscribed $2.5 million USD seed round to commercialize its low-noise cryogenic amplifiers.

Two Small Fish Ventures led Qubic's $3.5 million CAD funding round.

Qubic maintains operations in Quebec and research facilities in Waterloo, Ontario.

Qubic is developing low-noise cryogenic amplifiers to address thermal management bottlenecks in quantum computing.

Qubic's radio frequency quantum sensing platform targets military applications including threat detection and covert operations.

Qubic's amplifiers are designed to read data from multiple qubits at once without generating system-breaking heat or noise.

Qubic sold its first amplifiers to Quantum Machines for integration into hybrid control systems.

Qubic's technology is intended to support dual-use hardware for aerospace and defence sensing.

Qubic builds Kinetic Inductance Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers instead of Josephson junction-based quantum amplifiers.

The funding round totaled $3.5 million CAD.

Qubic aims to cut amplifier heat output to less than 0.1 milliwatts per amplifier.

Qubic has secured nearly $10 million CAD in combined equity and grant funding to date.

Qubic will build a radio frequency quantum sensing platform around its amplifier.

Qubic will use the capital to finalize its minimum viable product and increase manufacturing capacity for quantum and defence clients.

Sophia Space selected Apex to supply a Nova satellite bus for a planned in-orbit demonstration of TILE next year.

Sophia Space plans to continue investing in R&D, expand its team of engineers and salespeople, and build a manufacturing pipeline for its TILE compute platform at scale.

Sophia Space has two in-orbit demos planned to validate its core technology.

Sophia Space’s 2027 demo will use TILE to interact with data from onboard sensors and test TILE’s ability to host AI inference models for image processing and other tasks.

Sophia Space’s first in-orbit demo, scheduled for this fall, will validate its orbital operating system SOOS on board Kepler’s in-space network.

Sophia Space is finalizing $7 million in SAFE financing with participation from EverGreen, SparkLabs Group, and other undisclosed investors.

Sophia Space’s $7 million SAFE round is expected to close on Sunday and bring its total funding to $22 million.

SpaceX Starlink urged the EU Commission to respect ITU priority filings on mobile satellite spectrum, as the United States does.

SpaceX Starlink asked European regulators to justify their planned allocation of S-band mobile satellite spectrum.

The CZ-10B's erector is moving out to Pad-2.

Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology developed TJSW-26A, which is also known in English as Communication Technology Experimental Satellite-26A.

The Long March 7A stands 60.13 meters tall on the launchpad and weighs 573,000 kilograms when fully fueled.

The Long March 7A’s third stage uses two YF-75 engines.

The Long March 7A launch was the 16th flight of a Long March 7A vehicle.

The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology is hoping to perform twelve Long March 7 series missions in 2026.

The Long March 7A can deliver 5,000 kilograms to a trans-lunar trajectory.

The Long March 7A is fuelled by rocket-grade kerosene and liquid oxygen in its boosters, first stage, and second stage, and by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in its third stage.

The Long March 7A can deliver more than 8,000 kilograms to medium Earth transfer orbit.

The TJSW fleet recorded nine deployments in 2025.

The Long March 7A’s first stage uses two YF-100 engines, and its four boosters each use one YF-100 engine.

The Wenchang Space Launch Site’s Launch Complex 201 launched a Long March 7A rocket at 10:10 am China Standard Time on June 23.

The TJSW-26A designation implies that a TJSW-26B satellite is expected to launch to work in tandem with it.

TJSW-26A is the third satellite in its series to be sent toward geostationary space in 2026 after TJSW-24 and TJSW-25.

The Long March 7A was developed by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.

The Long March 7 series hardware and facilities allow two missions to be prepared in parallel.

TJSW-26A is intended to demonstrate multi-band, high-throughput communications technologies for radio, television, and data transmission.

The Long March 7A can deliver 5,500 kilograms to a 700-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.

The Long March 7A’s second stage uses four YF-115 engines.
