This was studied decades ago. IIRC the effective bit rate, at least with the detector tech at that time, was insanely slow, like a few bytes per hour (or maybe even per day).

As long as the latency isn't also hours/a day, it could still be useful, even if just one byte, as you could communicate what that byte means out-of-band. So catastrophe-detection systems could use it as an example.

If a byte takes 15 minutes, your latency is the time of flight plus 15 minutes.
