In this documentary-style video, we uncover what really happened when the Soviets launched a massive space reflector, why it was built, and why the project was ultimately abandoned.

The idea of using mirrors in space is not new. Legends trace it back to Archimedes, while Nazi scientists later imagined a terrifying “Sun Gun.” But Soviet engineer Vladimir Syromyatnikov had a very different vision. Instead of a weapon, he proposed using orbital mirrors to bring sunlight to the dark northern regions of Russia, increasing productivity and reducing energy costs during long Arctic winters.

This video explores:

The ancient and modern origins of space mirror concepts

Why a solar “death ray” from orbit is scientifically impossible

How the Znamya project was designed to illuminate cities from space

What happened during the launches of Znamya Two and Znamya Two Point Five

Why one catastrophic failure ended the entire program

And why no giant mirrors have ever been launched again

In the experimental era of the nineteen nineties, some of the wildest ideas were actually tested in orbit. This was one of them.

If you enjoy deep dives into space history, secret Soviet projects, and forgotten experiments that almost changed the world, this video is for you.
