Quantum communication via satellite networks is an emerging and revolutionary approach to achieving ultra-secure, long-distance communication by leveraging the
principles of quantum mechanics. This field combines quantum physics with advanced satellite technologies to overcome the limitations of terrestrial quantum networks.
Quantum communication uses quantum states—typically of photons—to encode, transmit, and decode information. A key feature is quantum entanglement, where particles remain interconnected such that the state of one instantly influences the other, regardless of distance. This forms the basis of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), a method for secure communication that detects eavesdropping attempts.

Orbital Sustainability and In-Orbit Servicing (IOS) are critical components of modern space operations aimed at ensuring the long-term usability of Earth's orbital environment. Orbital sustainability involves responsible practices to prevent space debris generation, minimize collision risks, and maintain the safety and functionality of active satellites. In-Orbit Servicing (IOS) complements this by enabling spacecraft to be repaired, refueled, upgraded, or repositioned while still in orbit, thereby extending their operational lifespan and reducing the need for replacement launches. Together, these strategies promote efficient use of space assets, reduce environmental impact in space, and support a more sustainable and economically viable space ecosystem for future generations.
