Two other Greek observatories have been selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) for the ambitious “fibre in the sky” program.
This program is part of the broader strategy of Euro QCI (Quantum Communication Infrastructure) to develop secure, encrypted communications in the EU.
In a letter to the General Secretary of Telecommunications & Posts Thanasis Staveris, the Director Elodie Viau of Telecommunications and Integrated Applications of ESA, confirmed the use of the Helmos Observatory and Mount Cholomon.
Specifically at the Helmos Observatory, the Aristarchos telescope will be used.
The two space observatories will have new equipment that will allow data to be sent and received at ultra-high speeds using laser systems instead of radio waves.
