Officina Stellare signs €1.84M contract with Spain’s Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO).

Officina Stellare is pleased to announce the signing of a new contract with the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) for the design and development of a fully equipped, transportable Optical Ground Station (OGS) dedicated to Lasercom and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) applications.

Awarded through a competitive procedure and funded by the National Hub of Excellence in Quantum Communications, supported by the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the European Union (NextGenerationEU/PRTR), the project reinforces Officina Stellare’s position as a leading European provider of advanced ground‑segment solutions for lasercom.

The OGS will be designed for full interoperability with EuroQCI and compatibility with ESA and EU QKD developments, including the EAGLE‑1 and SAGA satellite missions. Its transportable configuration will enable flexible deployment across Spain to support ICFO’s operational needs.

“This contract confirms Officina Stellare’s role as a reference player in optical ground stations, delivering complete, high‑performance solutions with exceptional speed and technological depth,” said Pierpaolo Pergola, Sales Director at Officina Stellare.
