Quantum Technologies in Applications for Satellite Operations — •Andreas Spörl1, Nikolas Pomplun1, Tobias Stollenwerk2, Florian Moll3, and Steffen Glaser4 — 1DLR-RB MIT OP — 2DLR-KN SAN OP — 3DLR-SC HPC KP — 4TUM Chemie
DLR's German Space Operations Center (GSOC) operates various satellite and human spaceflight missions, ranging from low earth to geostationary orbit, e.g. the Columbus Module at the ISS, several earth-observing missions like TanDEM-X and Firebird or the EuropeanDataRelaySystem. To steadily improve quality of operations, future technologies are always under inspection with respect to their potential for applicability in space and ground operations. Several future applications and methods of quantum technology are currently analyzed by GSOC and its partners: i) QuATHMoS: definition and implementation of an interface between an accessible quantum annealing device (D-WAVE) and an inhouse developed anomaly detection software suite (with DLR-KÖLN); ii) GRAPE4SPACE: application of quantum control methods in satellite attitude control systems (with TUM); iii) Support of upcoming quantum key distributing satellite missions and analysis of how quantum keys can be used in space operations.
