One of the targeted markets of VantaBlack was the aerospace industry to paint the inside of baffles on telescopes and optical sensors. It is currently being used in some star trackers on satellites [1]. Overheating is definitely a big concern for painting your satellite back. There is a lot of work that goes in to thermal design of satellites and that surfaces have the proper optical properties for absorption, reflection and emission.
