The company secured a $20 million follow-on contract from NASA to continue developing a space-based quantum gravity sensor. This award brings NASA’s total investment in the program to $40 million.
Funding supports the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder (QGGPf) mission led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The project aims to deploy the world’s first quantum gravity sensor in space to transform Earth’s surface gravity measurements. This technology tracks how resources like water and ice shift over time.
