29. Excellent point
Hmmm... perhaps they could locate it right on the edge of the moon, so to speak. At the edge of the disk that is the Moon's face. This way it could see 'behind' the Moon while keeping line-of-sight to a satellite or something. No shielding, but they would be able to point the reflector 180 degrees from Earth
