Was the purpose of the cannon to take down other satellites or just for research purposes? Presumably whilst this appears to be a weapon with a considerable range, satellites don't operate that close to each other?
The mathematics to calculate hitting another satellite traveling in a different orbit and at a different speed sounds like an interesting challenge.
If you were trying to disable a satellite what would be the best target? Solar cells?
