This would work. I know it has been tested in space already using a tiny "cube-sat" but for foreasting you's need a lot of these. That is not to bad because they are cheap and you could mass produce them. The real problem is the very short live of a low orbit satellite. You need t keep the production line open and commit to frequent launches.
I wonder if you cannot do this same work from the ground. Has anyone tried tracking single GPS satellites from the ground using very high gain tracking antenna. One of my projects that I might get to work "some day" is to study the upper atmosphere by comparing the various WWV and WWVB signals.
