Motivation Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers provably secure communication regardless of the technology available to potential eavesdroppers. Space-to-ground QKD facilitates long-distance key distribution without costly terrestrial infrastructure. The Polarization-modUlated Laser Satellite Experiment – Quantum (PULSE-Q) is a 12U CubeSat mission to leverage recent innovations in compact quantum sources and optical communication to achieve space-to-ground QKD.

Quantum Key Distribution utilises fundamental quantum properties and mechanics to generate a cryptographic key, ensuring the highest security regardless of advances to computer processing. AMMEQ-1 is a 3U cubesat being developed by The University of Sydney, Australia hosting a primary payload provided by Centre for Quantum Technologies, Singapore. Its main purpose is to show USYD's capability of developing a satellite using COTS products and to demonstrate various technologies to support future QKD missions. This study describes the mission and overall system design of the cubesat.
