Detailed performance analysis of the proposed QEYSSAT quantum receiver satellite

Transmission losses limit quantum key distribution (QKD) to distances of only a few hundred kilometres. We investigate performance aspects of the QEYSSAT proposal to demonstrate global QKD using a microsatellite as a trusted quantum receiver.
