Chinese scientists have received the first batch of data from the world's first quantum satellite, which was launched on Tuesday. 2-hundred and two megabytes of data was received in good quality on Thursday, and was transferred to China's National Space Science Center.
Nicknamed "Micius" after a fifth century B.C. Chinese philosopher and scientist, the satellite will circle Earth once every 90 minutes. In its two-year mission, the satellite will try to establish "hack-proof" communications by transmitting uncrackable keys from space.
