Eagle-1 is a future European technology demonstration satellite for in-orbit demonstration of space-based quantum key distribution.[1][2][3][4] The satellite was developed by a consortium of companies led by the Luxembourg-headquartered SES for the European Union (EU) and the European Space Agency (ESA).[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Eagle-1 is the first step in development of a sovereign European quantum communication infrastructure,[12][13][14][15] specifically the EuroQCI network.[16][17][18][19] The satellite will be launched to low-Earth orbit[4] on a Vega C rocket from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana[20][21][22] in late 2026 or early 2027.[23][5]
