QUESS - world's first quantum communication satellite launched
Published on Aug 15, 2016
QUESS (Quantum Experiments at Space Scale), world's first quantum communication satellite (nicknamed Micius after a fifth century B.C. Chinese scientist), was launched with a Long March 2D (Chang Zheng 2D) rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the Gobi Desert, on 15 August 2016, at 17:40 UTC (16 August, 01:40 Beijing time). QUESS will perform pioneering experiments in quantum communication, quantum entanglement, and test the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics at a space scale.
