The Canadian Space Agency is preparing to launch Canada’s first quantum-enabled satellite mission: the Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat). QEYSSat will demonstrate secure communication across Canada using ground-to-space quantum links, and help us explore foundational concepts in physics that cannot be tested on Earth. We will present updates on our recent QEYSSat Science Team activities, as well as the state of the quantum communication ecosystem in Canada
