Diffraqtion, a spinout from MIT and the University of Maryland, has secured $4.2 million in pre-seed funding to advance its quantum camera technology for satellite constellations, promising up to 20× higher resolution and 1,000× faster processing than traditional systems. The funding round was led by QDNL Participations, and the company, which is part of the U.S. Space Force's Apollo Accelerator, plans to conduct on-sky demonstrations in early 2026.
