SYSTEM IN OUTER SPACE FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS INTENSIFICATION AND CORRESPONDING METHOD Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64G1/42 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: inventions relate to space power engineering and can be used for intensification of photosynthesis on the Earth. The system contains satellite (2) with at least two optical units. The first unit (3) is for sunlight collection and at all times is solar-oriented. The second optical unit (6) which is smaller and less inertial is for retransmission a light flux with higher energy density than the collected flux density to area (Z). Its orientation is remotely regulated from control centre (11). Between the optical units (3) and (6) there is facility (10) for light transmission from unit (3) to unit (6). The optical unit (6) retransmits light in certain frequency ranges only - about 450 nm and 660 nm. This is achieved by filtering the radiation flux for example by special treatment of devices (6), (10) surfaces and their manufacturing of certain materials.

EFFECT: possibility to illuminate with solar flux of high density and in required spectral range sufficiently large areas of celestial body (the Earth) to intensify photosynthesis on them.
