DESCRIPTION:Quantum technologies are set to revolutionise society and quan
 tum networking may enable or enhance new capabilities or applications by e
 xploiting the properties of quantum entanglement for distributed quantum c
 omputing\, sensing\, positioning\, navigation\, timing\, and secure commun
 ication. However\, the fragility of quantum states is a barrier to long-di
 stance links\, exponential losses in optical fibres being a major limitati
 on. Satellite quantum nodes are a promising avenue for overcoming range co
 nstraints of terrestrial quantum links with recent pioneering in-orbit dem
 onstrations showing the feasibility of space-based quantum communication c
 hannels. However\, many challenges still remain for the construction of an
  Earth-spanning quantum internet. Here\, we provide an overview of world-w
 ide activities to develop space quantum networks and illustrate a path ahe
 ad.
