2025 June 23 The Lithuanian-developed ‘Matchbox’ laser, manufactured by Integrated Optics, was launched into orbit. It operates at an altitude of approximately 550 km in low Earth orbit.

The mission, led by the University of Vienna, aims to test quantum computing in space.

We are proud to share this achievement with you at the museum. You can now view the latest exhibit in the exhibition – the laser, which is integrated into a quantum computer satellite model.

We sincerely thank the Integrated Optics, Inc. team for their trust and this special gift!

This is not just technology – these are Lithuanian scientific and innovation achievements that are shaping the history of technological progress not only in Lithuania but also worldwide.
