RSC Energia is offering to illuminate Arctic cities using satellites as a way to prevent polar nights. Specialists will present this report next week at the royal readings.

A little light pollution is a bad thing. More is worse. A whole hell of a lot of it, though, under the right circumstances, can be good. Go figure.
Ping.
Won’t this confuse the Polar Bears?......................
What ever happened with that town in Norway or something, that put giant mirrors in the mountains to shine on their town during winter?

It is not exactly a sci-fi. Soviets used such spacecraft to make a daylight at nights for point-area disaster relief earlier. With bigger geostationary spacecraft you can establish all-time daylight at bigger areas.
Somehow that picture calls for a Gary Larson “Far Side” caption.
Melt the permafrost, release more methane, more Glowbull Warming.
Problem solved...................
I am reminded of that goofy movie with the satellite laser torching a house.
Replace mirrors with giant magnifying glass and watch people explode like ants!.................
Same location with benches...................
Ummm... Well... Ummm... Ya see...
Those will have to be synchronous birds, just like ComSats and will stay “over” one longitude.
But... Ummm... Won’t the extra “daylight” of whatever level it takes to be useful -—
?
...contribute...to...(shudder)...Global Warming?
even slightly
GMTA!...................
It just needs a giant ant with a magnifying glass
Shoot em down...
Just never heard of it before. I happen to live below the arctic circle. When us folks have emergency situations, me make sure to do it during the day, like most civilized people.
They used it below the circle too. You’d need some daylight at night for disaster relief.
