Europe’s Eagle-1 quantum key distribution satellite slips to late-2027/early-2028 as backers defend its role alongside post-quan Europe’s Eagle-1 quantum key distribution (QKD) satellite faces further launch delays, with backers now targeting late 2027 or early 2028 for the mission. Program advocates argue post-quantum cryptography is not a like-for-like substitute for QKD in securing sensitive communications despite the schedule impact.

Orbital data centers face hard constraints: space-qualified chip lifespans, launch scheduling risk, and onboard cybersecurity SmallSat Europe experts argue that “orbital data centers” will hinge on non-glamorous fundamentals: ensuring compute hardware survives long mission lives, securing reliable launch availability to hit deployments, and closing cybersecurity gaps as on-orbit servers become mission-critical. The cluster also highlights sovereign in-orbit data hosting plans using StarVault modules.

NASA satellites demonstrate dual-use capability to locate GPS-jammer sources on Earth NASA says its science satellites can detect and help pinpoint sources of GPS interference on the ground—turning an observing capability into a potential tool for GPS/jamming attribution and response. The finding highlights how space-based sensing can complement operator and regulator measures against degraded-PNT threats.
