The facility will use laser-based optical links and advanced adaptive optics to receive quantum-safe cryptographic keys from EAGLE-1, correcting real-time atmospheric distortions. EAGLE-1 is Europe's first satellite demonstrating end-to-end quantum key distribution (QKD) for ultra-secure communications, targeting government and banking sector users. The station is being built by Airbus for SES in a public-private partnership with ESA and the European Commission, with specialized partners including TNO, FSO Instruments, Officina Stellare, and Celestia STS. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
