European and Canadian industrial capabilities in the areas of:

 I ntra-Satellite Photonics  Optical terminals (Space and Ground)  Optical Network Concepts  Platform-Enhancements

  • Provide Fram ew ork for Developments up to PFM/ FMs to ensure the

strengthening of industrial capabilities

  • Provide End2 End Flight Opportunities to dem onstrate m aturity

  • HydRON to be implemented by m ultiple but self-standing “HydRON

Dem onstrator Missions” (HydRON DM# 1 [ GEO] , DM# 2 [ LEO] ).

  • Multiple im plem entations by m ultiple vendors/ com panies by

means of parallel place contracts

  • Advisory/ user group shall be established to support ESA in the

definition and use cases

  • I ntegration into the hosting platform of the com m ercial m ission

Rationale – why is ESA active in Space-QKD

  • QKD is a novel technology
  • strategic long-term investm ents
  • stim ulate a m arket where industrial players can become leaders in the field
  • expand Europe’s leadership/ excellence in quantum technologies, and

increase Europe’s strategic autonom y

  • support industry and academ ia to build up its capabilities and to mature the

technology.

  • Enable extensive test and validation cam paigns with the newly developed

technology in an end-to-end system - to I ndustry, Academia and the EC QCI

  • Due to the activities at ESA and at the EC, SAGA could become a space

segm ent for the EC Quantum Com m unication I nfrastructure ( QCI ) .

The Digital Europe Program m e proposed by the Commission in June 2018 aims to ensure the best use of advanced technologies in the area of cybersecurity. I n this context a pan-European quantum com m unication infrastructure ( QCI ) is under discussion. On June 13th 7 EU countries signed a joint Declaration to explore how to build a Quantum Communication I nfrastructure (QCI ) across EU within the next 10 Years, BE, DE, I T, LUX, NL, ES and Malta signed. AT expected to join.

  • QKD Service based on Entangled Photon

sources.

  • No storage of keys on-board (non

trusted node concept)

  • Keys are produced on Ground only.
  • Potential pre-cursor for EC Pan-

European Quantum Com m unication I nfrastructure QCI

Note: Depending on the security demands combination of trusted and non-trusted node concepts might exists in an

SAGA - Security And cryptoGrAphic mission

  • I mplementation as GEO System

would ensure:

 More than European coverage  Allows for long link time to ensure required key data rates (very weak signals)  pre-selection of clear sky conditions per end user (pairs)  no tracking requirements for user ground stations (reduced cost)

GEO-Satellite Non-tracking ground stations > Continental coverage Weather pre-selected service

SAGA – Preperatory Work at ESA

  • Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) Study nearly

finalized

 A star type communication network between Brussels and 50 other locations (mostly Europe, but some further away). This could be a network between capital cities, EC agencies, international

  • rganizations, major embassies, etc…

).  Technical challenges identified:

  • Large Space Telescopes
  • High efficient Entangled Photon Source
  • Ground Stations featuring 2-3m class optical telescopes
  • CDF Results are reflected

 in the Project Proposal for Space19+  DG Connect/ DG Grow QKD Expert-Group to define Architecture

Mission Layout and Concept of Operations

  • E91 QKD Protocol - entangle

photon

  • Laser source signal transmitted

into non-linear crystal

  • resulting in entangled infrared

photon pairs.

  • coupled into optical fibres which

are linked to the optical terminals.

  • Keys are generated and stored
  • n ground within the end user

premises

Technical Challenges

  • Entangled Photon Source

 Entangled photon sources with the required performances have been demonstration in laboratories.

  • 1 m Optical Term inal for GEO and Course Pointing Mechanism

 Telescope fulfilling GEO specific tracking requirements needs to be designed and demonstrated

  • Optical Ground Station Developm ent – cost optim ised.

 Challenge to develop a cost efficient solution, which potentially can be deployed to the users.

  • Background Light Suppression Technologies

 Driver is usage in Urban environment
