Abstract The possibility of practical implementation was studied for a quantum communication link for encryption key distribution between the Micius satellite and a mobile ground optical station. Using theoretical estimation, numerical values of the main parameters of such a communication link were obtained: total loss, key generation rate and secret key length, as well as quantum bit error rate.
