Those are geostationary, these are not. So that's 'easy' as in 'a mere matter of engineering'. You will either have to track the satellite mechanically or by 'beam steering' aka phased arrays. Neither of those are trivial technology wise.

any Idea how big one of these antennas needs to be? Could you mount it on a gimbal similar to a DJI is mom and just have it aim automatically where the signal is strongest?
