I very much doubt they going for intercepting Oreshniks. They are going for launching their own communications and spy satellites. Hence DIU involvement. Getting a good constellation of starlink like satellites would be extremely helpful for deep strikes into Russia without Elon getting in the way. Ukraine also seems to have had issues with access to foreign space based intelligence for both reconnaissance and programming contour navigation on cruise missiles.
