Space42 2025 results: 8% decline as satellite services offset AI/geospatial losses; company expects stabilization Space42 PLC reported an 8% decline in its 2025 results as weaker AI and geospatial analytics weighed on performance. Growth in satellite telecommunications, Earth‑observation and analytics services largely offset those losses, and management says results should stabilise in the current fiscal year.

Mynaric-led German consortium demonstrates two-way QKD with commercial off‑the‑shelf hardware A German consortium including Mynaric has successfully demonstrated two-way quantum key distribution (QKD) transmission using commercial off‑the‑shelf hardware, validating bidirectional QKD operation on commercially available equipment. The result suggests a near-term path to integrate quantum‑secured links into existing communications platforms.
