摘要：

We examine the possibility of secure key exchange between a ground station and a low earth orbit satellite using the technique of quantum cryptography. The study suggests there are no technical obstacles to building a system that could exchange keys at kilobaud rates between a metre diameter telescope on the ground and a satellite with a 10 cm diameter lightweight telescope.
