Lagrange Points can offer deployment in the shadow, or by using orbits with long times spent in the shadow while being sun synchronous.

It also requires propellant to stay at L2, so it’s actually only designed to be operational for 5-10 years. It’s kinda sad to see some gadgets going out faster than it takes to build it.
