NASA Awards Infleqtion $20M Follow-On Contract for Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder Mission - Quantum Computing Report

Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ) has received a $20 million follow-on contract from NASA to advance the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder (QGGPf) mission, led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The award brings total NASA funding for the space-based quantum gravity sensing program to $40 million, moving the mission into its next phase of hardware integration, sub-system fabrication, and microgravity ground testing. Ultracold Neutral-Atom Physics Package and Testing Pipeline Building upon heritage technologies developed for NASA’s Cold Atom Lab (CAL) aboard the International Space Station and previous satellite gravity mapping platforms (GRACE and GRACE-FO), QGGPf applies atom interferometry to measure subtle variations in [...]
