Abstract
In this study a feasibility analysis of a satellite-to-ground QKD link employing the Decoy-State BB84 protocol for both LEO and MEO satellite constellations is presented. Considering realistic atmospheric conditions and system assumptions, a comparison of the QKD performance between low and medium satellite orbits over an existing OGS network is reported.
