It's not a pool where you can mine solo and it seems they are selling an antenna that connects directly to the satellite. I do not think it will help something to your miner because it's just an antenna. Why not mine on solo pool directly like https://solo.ckpool.org/ Anyway, I found some posts on Reddit check them here https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/sqqpsw/how_to_solo_mine_bitcoin_using_blockstream/ and go straight on comments.

These are 1 way cband and ku systems similar to FTA systems , the signals are inbound only, you cant mine with them, (period) they are just to keep blockchain synced for things like internet outages and whatnot. Even these guys dont know what they are talking about. Its a inbound network backup. even if you hit a block on this connection ,without a separate outbound network there is no way Ku-band LNB & C-band LNB only receive signal.

If you must share information from another source, then at least try to include the reference link. Plagiarism is against the forum rules and if you get reported. You may earn your account a permanent ban You copied this from https://blockstream.com/satellite.

To emphasize that point, further down on the page they say Key point here is that to transmit to the network you need a link of some sort to one of those ground stations so your computer/miner/node/whatever can send data upstream. Like, er, you found a block or want to send some BTC to someone... So either you purchase a ground station from them or use WAN, p-p microwave or LaserLink, local off-grid mesh network, Targeted WiFi, Packet Radio, Dial-up, etc to link to one.
