I suspect you'd need computer Doppler correction with the FDMDV modem.  
The high PAPR would limit the stress on a linear transponder.  The (yet 
to be finalised) VHF GMSK variant might be easier to handle from a 
Doppler point of view, though at a higher average power (since it's 
constant envelope like FM).
