Radio communication to other side of world?

Me and my dad decided for a cool summer project we wanted to build a solar powered UAV glider. My biggest challenge is to be able to communicate with it but also it communicate back, I would like it to send video feed from a camera, I want it to fly overseas, I live in MN. How can I communicate with it? I was thinking of using a satellite phone but the minutes are very expensive and the phones are $200 and up, I have a satellite dish I can use as the transmitter/receiver here but what can I use on the aiplane? The plane would go beond the curvature of the earth. My dish is ku band. Should I use a High freq. Radio? They can bounce off the ionosphere and go thousands of miles but I don’t think they could go as far as I’d like

The cheapest thing to use for communication that goes a long distance would be a short wave radio. But to go the distances you would need one of those 100ft towers in your back yard to broadcast from and you would have to find a frequency no one else in the whole world was using, otherwise their frequencies could control your plane too. So with the cost of the tower and a great radio your looking at a small fortune because your actually making a broadcast studio.

I think your satellite phone idea would be the best. You get a specific frequency just for your phone that no on else gets. Also you could put GPS on it because you have to know where your plane is and you have to know where bad weather is and to be able to steer your plane away based on weather reports and all.

You could put a autopilot type steering device on your plane , so that you only have to communicate with it every hour or so just to see where it’s at
