Mynaric selected by German government for three tech development projects

Mynaric has been selected for three technology development projects related to quantum communication. The projects are part of the second phase of the QuNET initiative funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Mynaric’s technology development will be co-funded with a total amount of up to 5.6 million Euros between 2023 and 2025. Mynaric’s work as part of the projects will be performed entirely in Germany and include: Development of a scalable optical ground station prototype capable of receiving quantum keys from ultra-secure satellite-based networks in space; Demonstration of an optical communications terminal for airborne high-altitude platforms that can exchange quantum keys through air-to-air and air-to-ground links; Exploration of compact optical technologies to enable quantum key and laser communication for fixed and mobile network nodes.
