We report on the engineering and testing of a highly efficient entangled photon source that can sustain the strong vibrations and thermal fluctuations of space flight and operation in space.
x-Ray space telescopes are frequently identified as high priorities for future scientific missions by many space agencies. Their enabling technology requirement is a x-ray mirror with a large collecting area, low mass and high optical resolution. The European Space Agency (ESA) has developed the Silicon Pore Optics technology to fulfil the needs for future x-ray missions. ESA also supported the development...
Atom interferometers have a multitude of proposed applications in space including precise measurements of the Earth’s gravitational field, in navigation & ranging, and in fundamental physics such as tests of the weak equivalence principle (WEP) and gravitational wave detection. While atom interferometers are realized routinely in ground-based laboratories, current efforts aim at the development...
