wikipedia says "In the case of the system mentioned in the 2003 Air Force report above, a 6.1 m ร— 0.3 m tungsten cylinder impacting at Mach 10 has a kinetic energy equivalent to approximately 11.5 tons of TNT (or 7.2 tons of dynamite). The mass of such a cylinder is itself greater than 9 tons"

and how many rods would be on a satellite? 100? would not be worth to just have 10. that would make 900 tons. falcon9 "can lift payloads of up to 22,800 kilograms (50,300 lb) to low Earth orbit". thats only 22 tons, or 2 rods.
