There is no similar technology which would allow such a powerful laser in a satellite. While it's possible in theory, for now it's science fiction. No launch vehicle has enough capacity to lift the necessary power generation.


You could build a solar pumped laser that uses sunlight shining onto iodine to directly make very intense laser light.


And how much mass would that take, to produce enough output power to damage a ground station? I don't think you've done the math...

Right so as I said, it's possible in principle but would require technology which doesn't really exist yet.
