Sneaking onto a planet at TL 10

All that is true, but I'm looking for mechanical solutions rather than social-engineering ones. As for superscience, I'm helped by the use of a semi-reactionless drive that doesn't emit a lot of detectable radiation, and I'm considering hyperspace radiators, to send excess heat into hyperspace where it can't be detected.

One of my biggest questions is, in a setting where surface-to-orbit transport is dirt-cheap, is there any justification for a planet to not have a comprehensive satellite network?
