The current development in satellite-based quantum communication pushes quantum physics experiments into the relativistic regime [1]. While a theoretical description in terms of quantum field theory in curved space-time (or relativistic quantum information) is in progress, experimental evidence for the predictions are not existing yet [2]. In addition, the impact of relativistic effects on long-distance quantum communication needs to be quantified. We investigate potential realization of relativistic quantum information experiments with a satellite in the geostationary Earth orbit. Thereby, we aim to complement quantum field theory in curved space-time with experimental evidence and explore possible limitations of satellite-based quantum communication.
