Quantum computing poses emerging national security threats to satellite operators in low Earth orbit
By
Eddy Zervigon
Summary
Quantum computing is advancing rapidly, and nations are racing to build machines powerful enough to break modern encryption. This has direct consequences for the commercial space industry and satellite operators, as low Earth orbit becomes an increasingly contested domain. Satellite operators could face threats from quantum computing used for gray-zone operations — covert, hard-to-attribute hostile actions below the threshold of open conflict.

As low Earth orbit (LEO) becomes an increasingly contested domain, satellite operators could face a wide range of threats from quantum computing
Nation-states harness the technology for gray-zone operations, hostile actions below the threshold of open conflict, that are exceptionally covert and hard to attribute.
