Earth-Space quantum communication is the next challenge of telecommunications. As long as we want to know the outcome of a quantum communication by means of single photons, we have to face the interaction between a single photon and the atmosphere. In this brief article, we want to report some preliminary simulation results for realistic and generic atmospheric conditions.
