我们建议使用国际空间站在地面到空间的场景中进行量子光学实验，国际空间站配备了一个玻璃观察窗和安装在机动相机吊舱上的摄影师镜头。一个具有单光子探测、时间标记和经典通信功能的专用小型附加模块将使我们能够在太空中进行首次量子光学实验。我们提出了地面和飞行部分的初步设计概念，并研究了预期任务情景的可行性。
We propose performing quantum optics experiments in a ground-to-space scenario using the International Space Station, which is equipped with a glass viewing window and a photographer's lens mounted on a motorized camera pod. A dedicated small add-on module with single-photon detection, time-tagging and classical communication capabilities would enable us to perform the first-ever quantum optics experiments in space. We present preliminary design concepts for the ground and flight segments and study the feasibility of the intended mission scenario.
