Infleqtion inks $20M NASA contract to put quantum gravity sensor in space
LOUISVILLE — Infleqtion Inc. (NYSE: INFQ) recently inked a $20 million contract extension with NASA to continue development of the agency’s Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder.
The Louisville-based quantum-technology company that went public in February through a special purpose acquisition company merger was awarded an initial $20 million contract for the QGGP in early 2026.
“This follow-on award reflects the progress our team has made and marks an important step toward the mission’s next phase,” Infleqtion CEO Matt Kinsella said in a prepared statement. “The path from quantum science to a system that can fly in space takes years of engineering, testing, and collaboration. Every milestone brings quantum sensing closer to enabling entirely new ways to observe our planet from orbit.”
Infleqtion, a Boulder-born quantum-technology firm spun out of the University of Colorado, is consolidating its Centennial State operations at its new Louisville headquarters, dubbed the Colorado Quantum Innovation Center.
The company, which last fall claimed a $1.8 billion valuation and received $550 million in gross proceeds from its February SPAC merger and go-public activities, uses neutral-atom technology to build quantum computers, quantum clocks, RF receivers and inertial sensors.
