Abstract
We present the results of a feasibility study on the application of optical quantum communication links to a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) network with reference to the Galileo architecture. As a particularly relevant case, we derive specifications for an inter-satellite quantum key distribution (QKD) network and evaluate its expected performance in terms of achievable key lengths.
