While aerospace stock Boeing BA +3.47% ▲ has come under fire lately for producing planes that seem to fall apart almost on contact with sunlight, it is also working on some unexpected potential wins. In fact, right now, it is working on the ground twin for an upcoming demonstration of a quantum satellite. That was great news to investors, who sent Boeing shares blasting up over 4.5% in Thursday afternoon’s trading.
The ground-based twin is part of a larger satellite system that will, next year, demonstrate quantum networking in space, reports note. This is part of the demonstration to come; the second part will come when Boeing launches a satellite known as Q4S. Boeing will, ultimately, demonstrate “quantum entanglement,” which will in turn demonstrate how communications can take place instantaneously between a ground station and a space-based satellite, without sending any kind of signal or energy across the distance.
Right now, the hardware is currently undergoing tests to make sure it can survive the trip, and will hopefully be ready for the demo. It is also hoped that Boeing’s last space-based debacle, Starliner, will not be the forerunner of how this trial ends up.
