That won't work for four basic reasons (and I'm sure there are more...) --

1) No booster attachment on HST available
2) HST is too fragile to withstand that sort of translational acceleration
3) VERY expensive to boost something that heavy from 300 miles to over
22,000 miles altitude
4) "TDRS" wouldn't be able to see it easily if it were at the same altitude
