Well, it's not that easy... 

You need to have (at least) all the "regular"  QSO info. 
Then you need to have the following in your ADIF: 

Examples: 

<sat_name:5>AO-27
<prop_mode:3>SAT
<band_rx:4>70CM


I have some (not all that many!) satellite QSO's confirmed on LOTW
for the DXCC countries.  I've been sending in my logs for about 5 years.

John, K6YK
