We were thrilled to show Deputy Associate Administrator Kevin Coggins NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program, along with colleagues Philip Baldwin and Marcus Watkins, around Mt Stromlo last week. The ANU Quantum Optical Ground Station will support high-speed advanced communications with satellites from low-Earth orbit to the Moon. It will also support future research on advanced communications technologies, providing satellite networks with quantum security and global connectivity.
