Wouldn't a UAV be the logical solution here? I'm not sure
units with 40000ft capability are all that cheap yet, though.
A very small payload might suffice for sun sights (small
camera). Establishing the offset from UAV position to ship
would probably come free with the overall control scheme
to get the thing back, and the 2D offset would only be
a mile or two anyway. Fixed wing might be best for
smallest platform jitter when taking the sight.
Cheers,
