I don't think concealing your IP address would protect you against rocket attacks. As far as I know, there are two ways to locate a satellite phone that have nothing to do with its IP address. The first is radio triangulation. The second is the GPS location that the phone transmits when it connects to the satellite.

I have heard from people who ought to know, that a popular satellite phone protocol actually *broadcasts* the reported/calculated location of each phone, in plaintext beacons from the satellite that anyone who tunes to the right frequency can receive. I wonder what sort of NSA influence was used in designing *that* protocol. If you care about location privacy, don't use a satphone. Or hack your phone deeply, to report a false location, perhaps one that belongs to your enemies.
