By integrating quantum-based systems into existing infrastructures, EuroQCI – which is a key part of IRIS2 – will create a secure communication layer that is resistant to emerging cyber threats, advancing Europe's cybersecurity strategy and strengthening our leadership in quantum

More about ESA’s involvement in IRIS²:

Yesterday at the 17th #EuropeanSpaceConf, I discussed the implementation of IRIS² with @C_Kavvada, @eberneke, @adel_al_saleh, Miguel Angel Panduro Panadero and Antonio Abad. An excellent discussion on political and technical aspects, emphasising innovation, collaboration, and

This partnership with @viasat opens new opportunities for industrial innovation aiming to greatly enhancing the digital experience of citizens, particularly for communities in hard-to-reach areas. Our aim is to foster an ecosystem where European and Canadian industries can play

SpainSat NG I represents the next generation of satellite communications in Europe. My team and I at @EsaTelecoms are proud to have integrated the Pacis 3 payload – underscoring the strength of European collaboration in advancing space technology. @AirbusSpace @hisdesat

Over the past five years, there has been a significant increase in cyberattacks, emphasising the growing risks for sectors such as energy grids, emergency responders, and other critical infrastructure dependent on satellite connectivity, Estonia's proven leadership in

Delighted to present @esa's 2025 ambitions at Finland's Winter Satellite Workshop, celebrating their 30th year as an ESA Member State. Finland's innovation culture has driven success in telecoms, aviation, maritime transport, forestry & security. With an estimated 1.1 million

I look forward to meeting #satcom experts and enthusiasts at SPACETalks!

Thank you to the @Thales_Alenia_S team for their warm hospitality, partnership and for welcoming us to their facility. On behalf of ESA, we look forward to further collaboration!

Working with our partners at @defis_eu and SpaceRISE, we are proud to support the development, qualification and in-orbit validation of the next EU flagship programme for space. Through @EsaTelecoms, we will leverage decades of experience in developing and implementing space

We need to reinvent ourselves to ensure a thriving telecom sector. At @RAL_Space_STFC's Appleton Conference, I presented @esa's response to Europe's connectivity needs – including increasing partnership with the @spacegovuk. Together, reinventing the sector for real-world impact

"On its own, satellites aren't everything. It's the fusion with ground networks that's important." A pleasure to sit on the "Space for Safe and Resilient Operations" panel at the @Space4Europe UK Conference at @HarwellCampus. We discussed how satellite connectivity ensures

I am thrilled to see the 5G-EMERGE partnership project expand to 34 companies across eight of ESA's Member States – each bringing unique expertise in their contribution to advanced 5G and the future of 6G connectivity. Together, with our partners, we can create high-quality,

Space is critical infrastructure, and there is a fundamental need for secure communications and space connectivity in our daily lives. Secure communications is a priority for us at ESA, where we're looking at securing those networks and the data that moves through them.

It was an honour to sign the contract for the HydRON Element #1 with @KeplerComms. Optical satellite communications will serve as the backbone of a data-hungry world, where petabytes of data need to be moved quickly and reliably between users in orbit and on the ground. The

Today at #IAC2024, @esatelecoms kickstarted two very important projects for improving Europe's crisis management under our Civil Security from Space programme. Ciseres, led by @ElecnorDeimos, will enhance natural disaster detection and response by using on-board satellite image

I am thrilled to see the exceptional commitment from Industry and ESA Member States on ESA's Moonlight programme. Moonlight aims to enable smarter and safer international lunar exploration, positioning European industry as a provider of lunar services, allowing missions to

I am proud to have welcomed all attendees to ARTES Final Presentation Days 2024. Europe is at a crossroad, and industry is key to tackling the challenges of the satcom market. I wish all of you a successful event over the coming days and welcome you to connect with @esa for

I am delighted to see major progress on the development of the HummingSat product line. A critical milestone with our partners at @Swissto12, which showcases a successful @esa Partnership Project and European collaboration in commercial satcoms.
