S'pore tested quantum tech in space before China
A Singapore university had reportedly launched a quantum satellite in space in 2015, prior to China's QUESS on August 16 this year. The 1.65 kg nanosatellite carried basic components to test the viability of quantum-based technology for secure long distance communications. The satellite was one of six Singaporean satellites to be launched by India's Polar Launch Vehicle in December 2015.
