Abstract :
The sharing of quantum states among ground and orbiting terminal may be considered as feasible according to present optical technologies. The paradigm shift that Quantum Communications represent vs. classical counterpart allows to envisage the application of global cryptographic key distribution as well as the extension to Space of quantum technologies.
