And how do you communicate with it when it's on

Relay the transmission through a satellite that can
"peer around" the sun?

(buncha alternate-path satellites handling the
signal simultaneously, if one drops the signal,
it will still go through the rest)



Where are you going to put the relay? In an L4 or L5
lagrange point in Earth orbit?

Naw, couple of cheap satellites sold by Best Buy,
in highly elliptical near-earth orbits, they are
only required to peer past the edge of the sun.
