Yes, but a larger antenna will have a narrower beam width so it gets harder to aim it in the right place especially with a platform that is moving. If the antenna beam width is too narrow, you end up needing mechanically steered antennas to keep on target, which are expensive and weigh a lot.
Just to level set, I am not being a negative nelly here, I think this is a super cool idea. It is just every time I read an article about it there is so little technical information that I am left with a million questions in my mind that I wonder how to solve.
