We likely won't need a satellite to tell the suns effects on climate.
I've been looking at 'Global Cooling',with a 44-page article from a 1976 National Geographic.
In the article,they mentioned that solar physicists have been continuously monitoring the solar constant,and with 11-year,22-year,and the 70-year Maunder Minimum,solar output hardly varied.
Other researchers have reported that sunspots have very little to do with solar irradiance.('no measureable significant change in solar output.')
Some of the paintings from the Little Ice Age depict unusually red sunsets,which imply tremendous particulate loading in the atmosphere at the time.We know from Krakatoa(1883,east of Java,East Indies)-scale volcanic eruptions,that enough ash can be vaulted into the stratosphere,that it can cool the entire planet for years.
It WILL be interesting to watch things unfold.
