Investing.com – Churchill Capital Corp X (NASDAQ:CCCX) stock rose 8% on Tuesday after Citron Research supported the company following news that Infleqtion, the quantum technology merger target of this SPAC, secured a NASA space mission role.

Infleqtion will collaborate on NASA’s Quantum Gravity Gradient Probe (QGGPf) mission, which aims to deploy the first quantum sensor capable of measuring Earth’s gravity field from orbit. The company will design and integrate the sensor’s quantum core, leveraging its expertise in cold atom technology. The mission has already secured over $20 million in contract funding and is scheduled for launch in 2030.

Citron Research reinforced its position on CCCX stock, citing Infleqtion’s recent achievements. The firm highlighted that Infleqtion received a $6.2 million ARPA-E contract from the U.S. Department of Energy to apply quantum computing to energy grid optimization, in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, EPRI, and ComEd.

The partnership with NASA builds on Infleqtion’s previous collaboration with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory on a cold atom laboratory project aboard the International Space Station. The QGGPf mission represents a significant advancement in space-based quantum sensing capabilities, with the potential to enable more precise monitoring of changes in Earth’s surface water, ice, and land mass.

Infleqtion previously announced plans to go public through a merger with special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Churchill Capital Corp X.
