Methods and systems for generating energy at a platform in orbit around a planet or a moon and beaming at least a portion of the generated energy to a user receiver. One of the methods includes: generating energy at an energy generating platform in orbit around a planet to produce generated energy; transmitting at least some of the generated energy from the energy generating platform to a relay platform in orbit around the planet, the energy generating platform transmitting at least some of the generated energy using at least one laser; and relaying, using the relay platform, at least some of the generated energy received from the energy generating platform to a user receiver.
