Infleqtion is advancing the future of quantum sensing - by taking it up into orbit. 🛰️ In their joint venture with NASA, Infleqtion plans to send a quantum sensor into low Earth orbit. The Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder mission seeks to measure tiny variations in Earth’s gravitational field, generating data that help scientists track changes in water, ice, and land across the planet. With over $20 million in mission funding, the project aims to revolutionize how we observe Earth from space by using quantum technology that works even better in microgravity. The mission is expected to launch in 2030, paving the way for more sensitive and accurate Earth‑monitoring tools. 🌏 Learn more - https://lnkd.in/gy9m-Zve
