FOSSA Systems launched the new 6U FOSSASAT-2E27 satellite aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 Bandwagon-5 mission, carrying SEALSQ's VaultIC secure-element technology for in-orbit cybersecurity testing. Under an extended collaboration covering up to six FOSSA missions, WISeSat and FOSSA plan systematic in-orbit validation of VaultIC and the next-generation QS7001 post-quantum secure element, including six-month test periods. The milestone positions SEALSQ's technologies for anticipated post-quantum security demand, reinforced by U.S.
