    Not your question, but you can send bitcoin transactions via SMS. This combined with the satellite download could build a bitcoin system for those without highspeed internet.

No, communication is unidirectional, you can only receive the data which is broadcast by the system. The satellites being used are TV relays, the uplink essentially being amplified and re-broadcast without any knowledge of the content.Transaction broadcast needs to happen by terrestrial services like a cellphone network, dialup modem, or just the regular internet.
