Wouldn't it be easier to place whatever satellites in orbit before the war?
The project could launch a few into orbit, but due to a "failure" with something in the satellite, it never makes it to it's intended orbit position, but over shoots it, for safety reason it is moved to say Lagrangian Point 1 or 2, and there it sits lost for all time, but in reality it was placed there waiting for a signal to bring itself back into orbit closer to the earth?
You could even park it into an orbit around the moon as well waiting.
Hiding in plain site is what the project does.
