The Znamya project (Russian: Знамя, meaning "Banner") was a series of orbital space mirror experiments in the 1990s that intended to beam solar power to Earth by reflecting sunlight. It consisted of two experiments: the Znamya 2 experiment and the failed Znamya 2.5, plus with the proposed Znamya 3. The project was abandoned by the Russian Federal Space Agency after the failed deployment of the Znamya 2.5.
