Which technology is used to manage solar radiation through satellites?

The technology used to manage solar radiation through satellites is space reflectors. This approach involves the use of mirrors or other reflective materials placed in orbit around the Earth to reflect a portion of incoming solar radiation back into space. The primary aim of employing space reflectors is to reduce the amount of solar energy that reaches the Earth’s surface, which could help mitigate the effects of global warming and climate change.

Space reflectors can be adjusted or positioned strategically to optimize their effectiveness, providing a unique method of climate engineering that directly targets solar radiation management. The other options—stratospheric aerosols, carbon capture systems, and wind turbines—focus on different aspects of environmental management, such as atmospheric manipulation, greenhouse gas reduction, and renewable energy generation, and do not specifically address solar radiation management through satellites.
