AIQSAT
Artificial Intelligence Quantum Satellite
AIQSAT develops quantum satellites with onboard artificial intelligence — for a stable, secure and efficient exchange of data in orbit.
Our mission
We are building quantum satellites with artificial intelligence — for a better, more connected future.
AIQSAT is a young German startup working on the next generation of space systems: satellites that understand their data, protect their communication with quantum technology and cooperate as intelligent networks. Our goal is a stable, trustworthy exchange of data — from orbit to decision.
Interpret data in orbit
Onboard AI evaluates sensor data directly on the satellite — only relevant results travel to Earth.
Secure every exchange
Quantum key distribution protects links between satellites and ground against interception.
Connect constellations
Coordinated satellites share tasks and data — for faster, more reliable Earth intelligence.

One network · One mission
Intelligent satellites that communicate, coordinate and deliver
A constellation that shares tasks, protects every link and turns raw orbital data into decisions — efficiently and securely.

Main mission
Mission X1
The first integrated AIQSAT spacecraft — a pathfinder for intelligent, quantum-secure orbital data exchange.
X1 is the flagship development project of AIQSAT: a single pathfinder satellite that unifies onboard artificial intelligence, quantum-secure communication and a modular platform — proving they can operate as one resilient system in orbit.
