Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) announced that it has successfully demonstrated free-space Quantum Communication over a distance of 300 m. According to ISRO, this is a major milestone for unconditionally secured satellite data communication using quantum technologies. With this breakthrough, India joins a handful of other nations such as the US, the UK, Canada, China and Japan who have made significant contributions in the field of quantum communication. ISRO demonstrated their quantum capabilities by live video conferencing using quantum-key-encrypted signals. The free-space quantum key distribution(QKD) was demonstrated at Space Applications Centre (SAC), Ahmedabad, between two line-of-sight buildings within the campus. The experiment was performed at night to ensure that there is no interference of the direct sunlight. Most of the mission critical technologies used in the experiments were built by ISRO in-house, which includes the NAVIC receiver for time synchronization be

 The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) Mission will measure Earth’s changing ecosystems, dynamic surfaces, and ice masses providing information about biomass, natural hazards, sea level rise, and groundwater, and will support a host of other applications. NISAR will observe Earth’s land and ice-covered surfaces globally with 12-day regularity on ascending and descending passes, sampling Earth on average every 6 days for a baseline 3-year mission.
