I made a DeltaGlider Dark.

Read the readme file in the zip file for more information.
It will replace your old Delta-Glider Black (if you have installed)!

Vantablack? Stylish, but possibly not the best choice for a spacecraft... You might have to upgrade the cooling system, and you will definitely have to fit bigger radiators ...
Albedo seems to be Zero here! Alternatively it will have to operate outside the Mars orbit

Gonna be really hard to see in space and on any dark body (most of ‘em).

Stealth in space, maybe that's the idea.

Fun fact: Vantablack was actually used on some of the first-gen Starlink satellites to reduce its visible magnitude. Ran into the problems you described.

But ultimately futile, I suspect. All the incoming radiation (plus anything generated on the ship) has to be re-emitted one way or the other. If not by direct reflection, then as black body radiation. You may need detectors for a longer wavelength band, but you'd still spot it.
