On invitation from Ames Director Pete Worden, Altman attended the inaugural NASA Quantum Future Technologies conference in January 2012.<ref name=":41">[https://web.archive.org/web/20161118024355/http://quantum.nasa.gov/roll.html Inaugural NASA Quantum Future Technologies Conference]</ref> In collaborations stemming from the gathering, Altman led a team of collaborators to submit a grant proposal for the development and deployment of a novel quantum communications prototype at PISCES. After correspondence with the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Office and its Office of the Chief Technologist, the team contributed an invited proposal to DARPA through its Quiness Macroscopic Quantum Communications initiative.<ref name=":0">[https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B99KWApna6GoX3JzZGMzbzNrMjg/view Astronaut Development and Deployment of a Secure Quantum Space Channel Prototype at the Pacific International Space Center for Exploration Systems].
