RAL Space and SpeQtral are developing the Speqtre mission, with RAL Space leading the mission and providing the optical payload that will beam QKD signals to Earth.
The UK Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is investing £5 million in the Speqtre project.
RAL Space is developing an optical ground station at Chilbolton Observatory that will be used by Speqtre and to track and communicate with other satellites.
ISISPACE in the Netherlands is designing and supplying the Speqtre satellite platform.
Speqtre will test distribution of quantum keys to a ground station run by RAL Space at the Chilbolton Observatory in Hampshire and to a ground station in Singapore.
