A company from Gdańsk will develop a satellite communication security system based on post-quantum algorithms for ESA. The objective of the project is to create a cryptographic system for satellites that will protect communications against new threats posed by quantum computers.
Polish scientists are perfecting the groundbreaking technology of Rydberg antennas. These devices based on quantum effects can receive electromagnetic waves in an extremely wide range. The European Space Agency has already ordered a prototype that will help in studying the atmosphere and monitoring transmission bands.
A meteorite shower fell in Lublin Province; 13 specimens have already been found and there is a chance to find more, said the president of the Polish Meteorite Society, Professor Tadeusz Przylibski.
