Hi Dave

Would you consider building a scale model of this array to allow a polar
orbiting satellite to be the illuminator?

It's not really practical to do that for various reasons. The structure
is not a nice conventional antenna that can be scaled up/down size.

I get some pretty good radiation pattern plots at VHF, using Patrik Tast's
SignalPlotter program and NOAA satellites.

That's a concept I have not heard of before. But for me to work at VHF,
I'd need to make the structure larger by a factor of 10, so it would be
several hundred metres long.
