Main results: (1) Ultimate bounds for quantum communications with satellites (QKD/entanglement distribution); (2) Achievable secret-key rates with composable finite-size security, showing the feasibility of high-rate CV-QKD with a satellite in all configurations (downlink/uplink - night/day); (3) Comparison between a sun-synchronous satellite and a ground chain of quantum repeaters
