Organisation awards grant to Glaswegian company
The UK Space Agency has awarded a Glaswegian firm with an £870,000 grant to progress the development of quantum communications technology to be used in space.
Craft Prospect received the support through the agency’s National Space Innovation Programme for its ROKS Mission, coupled with an investment of £300,000 from the University of Strathclyde, a leading university in quantum technologies.
The funding supports the company’s work to provide quantum and onboard artificial intelligence products and services for space systems.
It follows on from a previous investment earlier in the year of over £1m from Scottish Enterprise and Capital for Colleagues, a fund that advises and invests in employee-owned businesses.

The UK Space Agency’s Responsive Operations for Key Services (ROKS) pathfinder mission will demonstrate technologies for future secure telecommunication systems using quantum communications and supported by artificial intelligence. The goal of the current phase will be to produce a payload ready for launch and demonstration in 2022/23. In addition to University of Strathclyde, the company will lead a consortium including University of Bristol and Fraunhofer UK.
Craft Prospect managing director Steve Greenland said: “Securing such significant follow-on funding from the UK Space Agency shows the quality of the cutting-edge work already delivered by the team and the return from our investment in growing our capability and facilities over the last five years. With existing strong research links into the University of Strathclyde, we can see a pipeline of opportunities to collaborate on industrialising and deploying these emerging technologies in space, and now have the financial backing required to deliver further high value demonstrations.”
F*ckin?remarkable things here. I am very glad to see your post. Thanks a lot and i am looking forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
Thanks for your useful article. One other problem is that mesothelioma cancer is generally due to the inhalation of fibres from asbestos fiber, which is a positivelly dangerous material. Its commonly noticed among staff in the structure industry that have long contact with asbestos. It is caused by moving into asbestos insulated buildings for a long time of time, Inherited genes plays a huge role, and some consumers are more vulnerable on the risk as compared to others.
Thanks a lot for your post. I would really like to say that the expense of car insurance differs from one scheme to another, simply because there are so many different issues which play a role in the overall cost. For instance, the make and model of the car or truck will have a massive bearing on the charge. A reliable aged family car or truck will have an inexpensive premium than a flashy sports vehicle.
I am curious to find out what blog system you are utilizing? I’m having some minor security problems with my latest blog and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you, I have just been searching for info about this subject for ages and yours is the best I’ve came upon till now. However, what in regards to the conclusion? Are you certain about the source?

Thanks for your posting. I would like to say this that the very first thing you will need to carry out is determine if you really need repairing credit. To do that you will have to get your hands on a copy of your credit score. That should really not be difficult, since the government mandates that you are allowed to get one no cost copy of your actual credit report annually. You just have to request that from the right people. You can either look into the website for that Federal Trade Commission or maybe contact one of the main credit agencies right away.
Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?
