Eutelsat Quantum

Eutelsat Quantum represents a shift from custom-designed, one-off payloads to a more generic approach, resulting in reduced cost and time through a modular and scalable answer to the payload specification, design, technology and manufacturing. It will also be capable of unprecedented in-orbit re-configurability in coverage, frequency and power, allowing complete mission rehaul, including orbital position.

It is a public–private partnership between ESA and Eutelsat, and is manufactured by Airbus.
