BGP does not care. It all depends on routing policies you set up. This is called Asymmetrical routing. It is extremely common all over the internet.
About the Satellite link. I would think long and hard about using a satellite link in the scenario mentioned below. Especially if there is interactive traffic. The delay would really cause havoc. It would be my bet that the network would be slower after you introduced the new link. One way to use the satellite link would be to use it with policy based routing. I would probably make it a bi-directional like for specific host that do not care about speed or delay. Lets say for hosts doing non time sensitive batch file transfers. Personally I would look for another option.
