	Statite
		A statite is a hypothetical type of artificial satellite that employs a solar sail to continuously modify its orbit in ways that gravity alone would not allow.
		Typically, a statite would use the solar sail to "hover" in a location that would not otherwise be available as a stable geosynchronous orbit; statites have been proposed that would remain in fixed locations high over Earth's poles, using reflected sunlight to counteract the gravity pulling them down.
		Statites might also employ their sails to change the shape or velocity of more conventional orbits, depending upon the purpose of the particular statite.

	Statite: spacecraft that utilizes sight pressure and method of use - Patent 5183225
		Since the Statite is stationary with respect to the Earth, the gravitational attraction of the mass of the Earth for the mass of the Statite is not cancelled out by orbital motion, instead it is cancelled by the light pressure force.
		Instead of the Statite being balanced by sunlight in the gravitational field of the Earth, the Statite would be placed in orbit around the Sun, at such a distance from the earth that the gravitational field of the Earth plus the moon is only a perturbation on the gravitational field of the Sun.
		In this mode of operation, although the Statite is moving relative to the Earth, it is not in orbit around the Earth, and, therefore, is not a satellite of the Earth.

		Perhaps this is outlandish, but a massive solar statite that uses solar pressure to keep it over the poles will allow shorter tether lengths and can be used as reflectors to beam out ahead of hurricanes, and sap life giving convection out from in front of them, so their fuel is dried up.
		A statite dangle space elevator only need to be a couple of hundred miles tall, though.
		As I understand a Solar Statite orbit it is an orbit of the sun behind (or ahead of) the earth.

	Geosynchronous orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theoretically an active geosynchronous orbit can be maintained if forces other than gravity are also used to maintain the orbit, such as a solar sail.
		Such a statite can be geosynchronous in an orbit different (higher, lower, more or less elliptical, or some other path) from the conic section orbit formed by a gravitational body.
		A further form of geosynchronous orbit is obtained by the theoretical space elevator in which one end of the structure is tethered to the ground, maintaining a longer orbital period than by gravity alone if under tension.

		By adjusting the sail area statites can move in and out, and by adjusting their angle they can move away if needed.
		The force on a statite would be F = L/(4 pi c r^2) - GMm/r^2, where L is the total luminosity of the sun (3.9e26 W), M is the mass of the sun, m is the density of the statite, r the distance to the sun and c is the speed of light.
		The net force from the solar wind and the light pressure (which is larger than the solar wind pressure) is also minor compared to the attraction of the sun and the internal strains of a rotating dyson shell.

		Robert Forward has suggested using this effect to position a "statite," a non-orbiting platform in a stationary position over Earth's polar regions.
		The statite remains fixed in Earth's gravitational pull by the counter-balancing force of sunlight on a reflecting sail.
		In a Solarian application, a power-statite would be positioned at a moderate distance from the Sun, within the orbit of Mercury but away from the plane of the planets.

		I've spun them slowly to keep them flat - it's clear that Selden is right and you couldn't hang anything from such filmy things without inducing distortions.
		The Sun's gravity shifts the gravitational vector slightly towards the Sun-side of Mars' centre, allowing the statite to be slightly undertilted, so that its reflected light hits, rather than grazes, the opposite polar region.

		Solettas exist in a variety of forms, from the small lunettes merely adding light to otherwise dark regions, over the agrisolettas improving agriculture or biological production to the major climate control solettas that heat up entire planets.
		Most are simply extremely thin films placed in a statite position above one of the poles of the planet, reflecting sunlight down on the surface.
		In terraforming gas giant moons large frameworks are placed in the L4 and L5 positions around the moon and adjustable reflectors reflect extra sunlight onto the planet.
