  The Schr\"odinger's-cat state is created from the macroscopic superposition
of coherent states and is well-known to be a useful resource for quantum
information processing protocols. In order to extend such protocols to a global
scale, we study the continuous variable (CV) teleportation of the cat state via
a satellite in low-Earth-orbit. Past studies have shown that the quantum
character of the cat state can be preserved after CV teleportation, even when
taking into account the detector efficiency. However, the channel transmission
loss has not been taken into consideration. Traditionally, optical fibers with
fixed attenuation are used as teleportation channels. Our results show that in
such a setup, the quantum character of the cat state is lost after 5dB of
channel loss. We then investigate the free-space channel between the Earth and
a satellite, where the loss is caused by atmospheric turbulence. For a
down-link channel of less than 500km and 30dB of loss, we find that the
teleported state preserves higher fidelity relative to a fixed attenuation
channel. The results in this work will be important for deployments over
Earth-Satellite channels of protocols dependent on cat-state qubits.
