System performance to achieve 3σ violation of Bell’s inequality across orbital distances represented on the y-axis. Up to Geostationary orbit (the first horizontal white-dashed line), an Earth-Spacecraft link is assumed. The three dashed lines on the top of chart represent 1.0, 0.5, and 0.33 times the Earth-Moon mean orbital radius. Note there is an optimal contour for high p values near the y-value of \(6\cdot 10^{3}\text{ km}\). The shapes of contour boundaries 6, 7, and 8 are due to the integration time associated with the orbital flyby. This upgraded link scenario will meet requirements for the midway-between-Earth-and-Moon Bell test
