Pan Galactic Completes Alpha Build of Quantum-Safe GalacticOS
May 20, 2025
Pan Galactic has reached a significant milestone with the completion of the Alpha build of GalacticOS, the world's first plug-and-play, quantum-safe operating system designed specifically for space-based systems and infrastructure.
This breakthrough development represents a major advancement in Pan Galactic's mission to secure the future of space data and follows the recent completion of the company's GalacticQSL (Quantum Secure Library), providing a comprehensive foundation for quantum-resistant space security solutions.
GalacticOS is a Linux-based operating system that offers a quantum-secure environment from boot-up, with plug-and-play functionality for rapid development. The system dramatically reduces the resources typically required by alternative solutions, making quantum-safe security accessible to a broader range of space applications.
"The completion of the GalacticOS Alpha build marks a transformative moment in space system security," said Jamie Del Grosso, Chief Product Officer at Pan Galactic and lead architect of the operating system. "We've created something that fundamentally changes the equation for satellite and space infrastructure developers. Rather than requiring extensive custom security implementations that consume precious computing resources, GalacticOS provides quantum-resistance as a foundational element, allowing developers to focus on their core mission capabilities."
Del Grosso, who developed the original concept for the operating system and led the team through its development, added: "This isn't just another layer of security—it's a complete rethinking of how we approach secure computing in space environments, where resources are constrained and the stakes are exceptionally high."
GalacticOS incorporates several groundbreaking features designed specifically for the unique challenges of space-based computing:
The completion of both GalacticQSL and GalacticOS represents a significant acceleration in Pan Galactic's product development strategy. With these foundational technologies now in place, the company is rapidly advancing toward full commercial deployment.
"Having both our quantum-secure library and operating system reach Alpha stage marks a huge milestone in our development roadmap," Del Grosso explained. "These complementary technologies form the backbone of our security ecosystem, enabling us to move quickly toward Beta testing with commercial partners and eventual full market deployment."
The development of GalacticOS addresses a critical and growing vulnerability in space infrastructure, as traditional encryption methods face increasing threats from quantum computing advancements. By providing a complete operating system solution rather than just component security, Pan Galactic is positioned to deliver comprehensive protection for entire space missions.
The company is now working to integrate the GalacticOS Sandbox, which will function similar to an app store on a traditional operating system. This innovative feature will allow users to access applications and tools in a more user-friendly way, while simultaneously enabling developers to achieve wider market adoption for their software by offering them through the sandbox.
"We're collaborating with a number of early partners to develop the first applications and tools to be offered through the sandbox," said Del Grosso. "This approach creates a secure ecosystem that benefits both end users and developers, all built on the quantum-safe foundation that makes GalacticOS unique."
Pan Galactic is engaging with select commercial and governmental partners for Beta testing of GalacticOS in simulated and real space environments, with plans for the first orbital deployment in the works.
