Mission and Vision Statement: “Fibre in the Sky” at Terabit capacity demonstrated by
European and Canadian Industries by 2025.
Strengthen the role of the satellite by Optical Coms Seamless integration of Space and Terrestrial Networks is essential for
many applications (e.g. 5G). HydRON –due to its network concept- will provide the means to
overcome the atmospheric dependencies of optical feeder up/downlinks
re-route traffic by switching capabilities on board share optical infrastructure on ground and therefore ease the use of optical for
space
ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use ESA | Vienna | 18/06/2019| Slide 48
HydRON Objectives
Foster the implementation of the Optical Roadmap to ensure European and Canadian industrial capabilities in the areas of: Intra-Satellite Photonics
Optical terminals (Space and Ground)
Optical Network Concepts Platform-Enhancements
Provide Framework for Developments up to PFM/FMs to ensure the strengthening of industrial capabilities
Provide End2End Flight Opportunities to demonstrate maturity of technology AND the Industry
Integrate end users (primes, operators) at an early stage
ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use ESA | Vienna | 18/06/2019| Slide 49
ESA Implementation approach
• HydRON to be implemented by multiple but self-standing “HydRON Demonstrator Missions” (HydRON DM#1 [GEO], DM#2 [LEO]).
• Multiple implementations by multiple vendors/companies by means of parallel place contracts
• Advisory/user group shall be established to support ESA in the definition and use cases
• Integration into the hosting platform of the commercial mission
• HydRON is beyond single Operators planning horizon and the maturity of the technology is low => ESA as System Architect

HydRON DM#1 @GEO
HydRON DM#2 @LEO with connection to Mega-Constellation

• GEO (HydRON DM #1) serving Mega-Constellation via HydRON DM#2 (LEO) to reduce Ground Segment
Benefits:• Industry supported for LEO
and GEO case • Reduced cost for Demo

• The principles of Quantum Physics allows to detect presents of a 3rd
party. • Therefore Quantum Communication
(Photons) used for Secure Key transmission.
• Photons that had been “listened in” be identified and the Key can be discarded.

Rationale – why is ESA active in Space-QKD
QKD is a novel technology strategic long-term investments stimulate a market where industrial players can become leaders in the field expand Europe’s leadership/excellence in quantum technologies, and
increase Europe’s strategic autonomy support industry and academia to build up its capabilities and to mature the
technology. Enable extensive test and validation campaigns with the newly developed
technology in an end-to-end system - to Industry, Academia and the EC QCI Due to the activities at ESA and at the EC, SAGA could become a space
segment for the EC Quantum Communication Infrastructure (QCI).

Satellites @Digital Europe/Cybersecurity
The Digital Europe Programme proposed by the Commission in June 2018 aims to ensure the best use of advanced technologies in the area of cybersecurity.
In this context a pan-European quantum communication infrastructure (QCI) is under discussion.
On June 13th 7 EU countries signed a joint Declaration to explore how to build a Quantum Communication Infrastructure (QCI) across EU within the next 10 Years,
BE, DE, IT, LUX, NL, ES and Malta signed. AT expected to join.

• QKD Service based on Entangled Photon sources.
• No storage of keys on-board (non trusted node concept)
• Keys are produced on Ground only.
• Potential pre-cursor for EC Pan-European Quantum Communication Infrastructure QCI
Note: Depending on the security demands combination of trusted and non-trusted node concepts might exists in an overall architecture.
