Well, it may be good idea for a campaign mission scenario.

I haven't done anything with the mission editor, so I was wondering if it was even possible to actually have a target in low orbit (or very high altitude) to shoot at. I agree it wouldn't be too much fun to just arrive at a location and shoot off an SM3.
Real satellite was intercepted at about 130 nm (~800,000 ft) whereas in mission editor max altitude for planes doesn't exceed 40,000 ft. I checked that E-3 SENTRY can climb up to 39,999 ft.

But, after all, I think it's worth trying to create such mission.
