Actually, many people don't realize that ham radio operators have
been doing communications via satellite for years.  There used
to be a ham satellite in orbit (may still be, I'm not current)
and it contained a transponder that basically relayed everything
it received back down.  I see no reason why one couldn't transmit
data this way.
