Abstract:
1. A method for reinforcing photosynthesis on the Earth comprising: placing a retransmitting satellite in orbit around the Earth, comprising at least one set of on-board elements; providing a first optical assembly to collect sunlight, the first optical assembly being fixed with respect to a structure of said retransmitting satellite; providing a second optical assembly on said retransmitting satellite, said second optical assembly being smaller in size and inertia than said first optical assembly, said second optical assembly being configured to retransmit the light collected by said first optical assembly with a higher density of retransmitted flux than an originally collected flux density, and an orientation of said second optical assembly is adjustable with respect to the structure of the retransmitting satellite; providing remotely controllable equipment programmed to adjust the orientation of said second optical assembly; providing a light transmitter to transmit light collected by said first optical assembly to said second optical assembly at whatever the orientation of the second optical assembly; and providing a filter for filtering the collected light so that the second optical assembly retransmits the light only in frequency bands of around 450 nm to 660 nm; orienting the retransmitting satellite so that said first optical assembly always remains directed to the Sun, at least when the retransmitting satellite is travelling above a given region of the Earth where the Sun is visible so as to be able to collect sunlight upon such a travel; and orienting said second optical assembly to directly retransmit the collected sunlight on a given area of the Earth, upon its travel above said given area; and reinforcing photosynthesis on the given area of the Earth with the collected sunlight in frequency bands of around 450 nm to 660 nm.
