When it absolutely, positively has to be destroyed on time, nothing beats your own remote-controlled, satellite-mounted laser cannon.
A variation of the Wave-Motion Gun, Kill Sats have the added advantage that you don't need to be anywhere near either the weapon or the target. Instead, you can fire it from the safety of your headquarters: your satellite will move into position and unleash a shiny descending Pillar of Light (or, less often, a good ol' kinetic projectile) on your unsuspecting target. Power/accuracy on Kill Sats vary, ranging from "lone vehicle" to "entire building" to (rarely) "town or small city." Planet busters are another category entirely, as firing them remotely from anywhere on the surface is inadvisable.
Since it's considered poor form to snipe your opponent from such a risk-free distance, Kill Sats are generally the realm of villains. So-called good guys who resort to these will, at best, fail miserably. If Everything Is Online in their world (and you know it is), there is always the risk of control falling into the wrong hands.
In video games, Kill Sats are frequently used by the good guys (ie the player) but usually requiring some sort of targeting system on the ground in the vicinity of the target (distance varies from a few meters to a few miles). If the good guys do have one, its precision and accuracy are emphasized, often by providing the bad guys with a less precise weapon of equivalent power (such as a nuclear missile).
Of course, in the hands of either side, it would end the story in a hurry if these could be used repeatedly: none of the opposing side could poke their nose into the open without risking vaporization. Therefore:
It's prohibitively expensive, time-intensive, and/or just plain difficult to get it moved over the target and charged, making it something that can't be used regularly or that can be avoided.
It Only Works Once, because there was only enough power/ammo to fire it the one time, or because the heroes sabotage it or its control system before the villains can shoot again.
Some combination of the above two, the former giving the opportunity for the heroes to do the latter.
The area of effect for its firepower is too limited: you can pick off soldiers or armored vehicles one at a time, but the amount of time this takes makes it unable to turn back a mass invasion. Thus, usage is reserved for important high-value targets. Or the exact opposite, it's a Weapon of Mass Destruction that can't even be considered until the Godzilla Threshold is reached.
The weapon, if fired, risks being discovered and shot down, hence it is reserved for only super high value targets.
Alternatively, it's not active at all yet, in which case the story centers around making sure it never gets off its first shot. In these cases it generally leans toward the powerful end of the scale.
Kill Sats sometimes display the orbital properties of their more benign counterparts, the Spy Satellites, able to move themselves over any target in record time and then park themselves there to get off as many shots as they please. More often, thankfully, the writers actually pay attention to how satellites work and incorporate that into the plot ("we've got two hours to destroy the control center before the satellite is in position over our headquarters!")
Any villain seeking to get their private space program off the ground (pun most definitely intended) is probably doing so to put one of these bad boys in orbit (never mind what it actually gets used for). Spy villains love these things. The Ancient Conspiracy may already have a full network of Death Ray Sats secretly in orbit, but they're careful about using it regularly, lest someone catch on.
The Standard Sci-Fi Fleet can and will take this up a notch, with the heavier ships turning their guns on a helpless planet below.
An early test fire of these may create the Doomed Hometown.
The trope name is a parody of "TelSat", the TV satellite system.
A popular way to rain Death from Above, and a subtrope of Orbital Bombardment. Compare Wave-Motion Gun, BFG, Big, Bulky Bomb, Doomsday Device, and There Is No Kill Like Overkill. Very often considered a Superweapon by the forces on the ground with no way of knowing when and where it will strike. Contrast Save Sat, when a satellite crashing down has a beneficial/defensive effect.
This item is available in the Trope Co. Catalog.

In WinBack, the GULF Strategic Weapons System is a top-secret satellite laser owned by the US Government with an unlimited power source and the ability to obliterate any target on Earth with pinpoint accuracy, but it takes several hours to charge between shots. The plot kicks off when one of its two Control Centers is seized by terrorists and it's used on the Center for Space Development, the location of the other Control Center.

This is how Megamind actually kills MetroMan. Except that it turns out that MetroMan's Not Quite Dead. In the straight-to-video Megamind: The Buttom of Doom, the villain-turned-hero Megamind tries to sell off all his "evil" inventions at a garage sale, including the Kill Sat, which he markets as a barbeque starter. This is the only item he fails to sell. It turns out to be useful in the end when he has to destroy a Humongous Mecha he built a long time ago programmed to kill heroes, who he now happens to be.

The Last Son features a couple of examples:
A.I.M. constructed an orbital railgun as part of a blackmail scheme with Kaznia.
Battlestation Sentrius is described by Nick Fury as a Death Star 2.0, and with good reason: it has all the state-of-the-art weaponry available in the Kryptonian Military Force. General Zod uses it to launch a Nova Javelin at North Korea in retaliation for them trying to attack it with a salvo of nukes.

The titular weapons in GoldenEye are single-shot EMP-based Kill Sats. The first one is used to cover up the theft of the satellite control codes by destroying the operations base. The Big Bad plots to use the second one to knock out London (and all evidence of a grand electronic bank raid to be completed first), but is stopped by Bond and his Girl of the Movie, Natalya.

The kinetic harpoon concept appears in The Wild Storm; Skywatch calls it "Little Stick", a single diamond rod too small for radar detection, dropped into the atmosphere over a target and striking with the force of a tactical nuke. Bendix uses one to level a recently evacuated I/O base and threatens he could easily do the same to their New York City HQ.

Taken up several notches in Fallout 76, in which the player can earn access to the Kovac-Muldoon orbital platform. Unlike in previous games, there's no limit to where you can aim the K-C or how many times you can use it, so craft some orbital strike beacons and go wild!

In Leviathan: The Tempest, the Marduk Society has access to orbital Lightning Gun satellites. They are very much a Godzilla Threshold weapon though, as they will probably kill everything within a quarter-mile of the target and are exactly as unsubtle as you would expect from a giant orbital lightning bolt. The rulebook mentions that player Leviathans should not have to worry about these unless they very seriously screw up.

In The Expanse, the UN has at least 5 large railgun-armed satellites orbiting Earth. They can target and take out any target within the inner Solar System. The MCR has stealth orbital nuclear platforms aimed at Earth as a MAD-type deterrent. The UN uses the former to take out the latter, but one of the platforms manages to get off a missile before being destroyed. The MIRV gets a warhead through Earth's anti-missile defenses and nukes South America, killing 2 million people.

In Once Upon a Spy, Big Bad Marcus Valorium steals the X-2 supercomputer from NASA because this allows him to calculate the exact position of any satellite in orbit. This in turn allows him to use any satellite as a kill sat by bouncing his Shrink Ray off it.

Like a Dragon:
Yakuza: Dead Souls has a "Satellite laser" weapon that players can wield. Hits with it often register as "headshot".
In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, completing the Business Sidequest storyline unlocks the "Essence of Orbital Laser" in which Ichiban presses a Big Red Button on his phone that activates a satellite owned by his MegaCorp to nuke the enemies to oblivion.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth sees the same ability return as the "Essence of Dondoko Beam" after completing the Dondoko Island Sidequest storyline. It functions the same way, but decorated in the style of Dondoko Island and sponsored by the island's general store.

The X series features lasertowers and orbital defense stations, which operate like Halo's Super MACs in that they're defensive in nature, blowing hostile ships out of the sky. In X3: Terran Conflict the lasertower is a Useless Useful Spell since out-of-sector combat mechanicsnote used when the player is in another sector negate its main advantage over its targets (superior range). Even in-sector, it can take dozens to bring down a capital ship. Lasertowers got a major buff in Albion Prelude, making them effective defenses. The Torus Aeternal, a Ringworld-esque megastructure that wraps around Earth, is a defensive kill sat — it has enough weaponry to One-Hit Kill any ship that deviates from their assigned docking path. The Torus was such a powerful piece of Terran infrastructure that the Argon Federation resort to sabotaging it via suicide-bombing in order to invade the Solar System in X3: Albion Prelude.

In the Old World of Darkness, the Technocracy had secret orbital satellites for spying, defense against alien incursions, you name it (as well as various research stations on Luna and some moons of Jupiter and at Lagrange points throughout the solar system, a defense parameter around Earth and Moon, a Dyson Sphere in Deep Space...). As revealed in the supplement Time of Thin Blood, when an ancient vampire arose from slumber in India during the End Times and laid waste to Bangladesh the Technocracy executed "Code Ragnarök"; they finally managed to destroy the vampire by first stunning him with fusion bombs and then incinerating him with the help of a network of mirror satellites and a concentrated ray of sunlight from heaven.

One of the oldest (if not the oldest) examples of this trope in video games is the Missile Command-inspired Ashes to Ashes from the early Macintosh days, which has a satellite-based ion cannon as one of the three weapons in the player's defensive arsenal. It strikes the target area instantly and has unlimited uses, but has a 2-second cool-down delay and a smaller blast radius than ground-based missiles. Still, skilled players can survive for quite a while after exhausting their other weapons.

In one episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987), Shredder and Krang take control of a satellite armed with a super laser and used it to cut the Technodrome free from the Arctic ice trapping it. However, just as they were finally moving, Bebop and Rockstead get into a scuffle over a comic book, resulting in Bebop falling back against the controls of the lasernote which may or may not have been caused by the Turtles using Wu Wi. This not only shorted out the controls, preventing them from using the satellite any further, but it also caused the laser to create a hole in the ice in front of the Technodrome, resulting in it ending up at the bottom of the ocean.

Justice League:
In the episode "Maid of Honor", Vandal Savage takes control of a mass driver-equipped Kill Sat owned by the kingdom of his intended bride... and is promptly crushed (but not killed, thanks to his regenerative powers) by a shot from the weapon after his plans are foiled.
In Unlimited, the second Watchtower has a more conventinal one of these, which causes the heroes no end of grief when it is hijacked for villainous purposes. Even before that, just the knowledge that they have it on top of being the single largest force of metahumans on the planet causes a lot of people to become very distrustful of the Justice League. They eventually decide that it's too much power for anyone to have and decommissioned the gun. It's called the "Binary Fusion Generator", which (while never spoken as such in the show) has a convenient acronym.

The American Particle Cannon orbital reflectors in Generals are a less verbatim kind. Technically, they're not even real Kill Sats — they're actually part of a bigger beam cannon system, and their job is to reflect beams fired from a Particle Cannon on the ground to another spot on the ground. And what do the other two sides get? Tactical nukes and anthrax SCUD barrages, respectively.

In the Doomsday Heist update for Grand Theft Auto V, an orbital cannon was made available as a purchasable utility for your high-tech facility, enabling you to use it as surveillance across all corners of the map, or as its function as an instant kill weapon by firing on your target from high above, but you will need $500k to fire a manual shot or, if you so choose to leave the reins to the game, pay $750k to autotarget your choice of players in the lobby and let the cannon do the rest for you. On top of that, there's a long cooldown period before it can be used again, and you can only use it from a command post in the facility.

Ultima did it again in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. However, this version only did MP damage. Watching a gigantic lance of energy smash into the enemy from above with an explosion of magical force, only to see nobody at all physically harmed, let alone reduced to a pair of smouldering boots... a case could be made for subversion, there. The sequel makes Ultima deal Light-based damage on all enemies and heal all allies. There are others with this Modus Operandi, as well.

Dawn of War: Soulstorm has the Tau turn a natural satellite into a Kill Sat. As in, they built a cannon capable of firing across the system's interplanetary distances on a moon. (Flee not, spoilerphobes! This is told to you in the very first campaign cinematic!)
In Dawn of War 2, the Orbital Bombardment ability for Space Marine players is essentially three lasers hitting the area of your target. Devastating to anything that gets hit.

Zoids:
There's one in the Zoids: New Century series, as a side function of the Judge satellite. While it doesn't usually come up because the enemy uses Dark Judges, which skew the battle in their favor, in one specific instance there's a regular Judge on the battlefield and the bad guys ignore him completely, prompting him to call down a barrage that completely frags the remaining enemies and their Airborne Aircraft Carrier.
Near the end of the series during a tournament, the Backdraft Group calls down a whole bunch of different Dark Judges. As they're defeated on the ground, the real judging authority has a very large satellite covered in gun turrets that blows the satellites out of the sky.

In Real Genius, the lead characters are duped by their college professor into building a laser which is intended as the main weapon for a Kill Sat dubbed "Crossbow". They retaliate by sabotaging the test to have it destroy the duplicitous professor's home with popcorn. Technically, the weapon would be mounted on a shuttle, not on a satellite, as shown by the demo video at the start of the movie. It's still insta-death from orbit for anyone it hits, though.

Moonraker has a slight twist on this: Hugo Drax's Kill Sat is also an inhabited Space Station, where his master race will remain safe and sound while nerve gas wipes out the rest of humanity.

Fallout Equestria: Pink Eyes features Ponymedes, a pre-war system of these. Since nobody remembers it exists nowadays, the controller finds its way into the hands of Puppysmiles, an elementary schooler who thinks its a toy gun. Attempting to 'fire' it in the middle of a battle forces both sides to immediately abort and start running as soon as they notice the beams of light taking aim from space.

Rocko's Modern Life:
The episode "Teed Off" featured a satellite that launched grand pianos.
In "Wacky Deli", Ed Bighead proposes the use of a more conventional Kill Sat to vaporize Rocko and co. after their cartoon, the eponymous 'Wacky Deli', makes executive producer and Ed's child Rachelnote who was still still going as Ralph at the time the target of constant mobbing by fans of the show. After Rachel says that she doesn't want to kill Rocko, Ed settles for melting the polar ice caps instead to create a wall of water to get rid of Bighead Studios.

SCP Foundation:
SCP-923 is a mind effecting Kill Sat. It makes people Ax-Crazy, and the effect 'splashes' at higher settings. It reports a maximum output of 238, which gets converted to 'keter' intensity — and apparently causes effects that screw with reality itself. More worryingly, using it causes wear (and results in lower-intensity settings slowly becoming unavailable). What really worries the Foundation, though, is the fact that the Kill Sat says it was built to help protect a site that they never built.
SCP-1514 ("Star Wars"). SCP-1514 is a whole network of xaser killer satellites Powered by a Forsaken Child (and his mother). They are based on the real-life Strategic Defense Initiative or "Star Wars" program. See real-life folder for more information.
SCP-2578 ("This Machine Kills Fascists") is usually content to act as an extremely localized version, sniping exact (tyrannical) individuals with apparent high-velocity rounds from up in orbit after giving ample warning. It's in the Foundation's best interests to not make it come down here, as the last time that happened it had a giant quarrel with a Keter-class that ended with everyone in Pyongyang dead, SCP-2578 in need of heavy repairs and the Keter-class in question flung into the sun.

The Cowboy Bebop episode "Jamming With Edward" features a network of satellite-mounted lasers. They were built in an attempt to reduce the severity of meteor showers after the moon was destroyed by the hyperspace gate explosion. In the episode, an A.I. which evolved in the network uses them to carve graffiti on unoccupied areas of the planet surface to recreate the Nasca Lines. Then automated defense programs activate when Spike comes to collect a bounty on it and try to blast his fighter...

A villainous attempt to build one is a running plot for much of the second season of Thunderbirds Are Go. He does eventually manage to get the thing working, and tries to use it to kill his (even more villainous) boss; it can only fry relatively small areas, and the power is directly proportional to how long it takes to charge, so it's not really a global threat, but it's certainly a problem for the guy he's trying to kill.

Neon Genesis Evangelion:
It included a Kill Sat angel. It fired a Mind Rape beam at you to the tune of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah. Asuka was unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of said beam, and needless to say, the results were not pretty.
A different Angel started out dropping bits of itself on the city, gradually target-tracking onto the geofront, at which point the whole thing came crashing down and the Evas have to run up and catch it.

Warzone 2100:
The main antagonist (a self-aware computer virus called NEXUS) eventually powers up his laser satellites against the player during the semi-final mission as at this point all of his systems are now back online.
Just before The End of the World as We Know It, the North American Strategic Defense Agency also had access to satellites stuffed with thermonuclear missiles, which NEXUS used to nuke most of humanity all the way to the afterlife.

The Death Star acts much more like a typical Kill Sat in Rogue One when Tarkin orders the battlestation to fire low-power shots to destroy the Holy City on Jedha and the Imperial base on Scarif. The blasts destroy the targets and their surrounding areas while the celestial bodies remain (relatively) intact. This is because it was firing its superlaser at minimum setting.

Another Century's Episode 2 has the Guardian System controlled by the mysterious red Buster Ark which shows up to periodically harass the heroes. They occasionally wonder why the pilot doesn't just vaporize their battleship, but eventually you learn that the pilot is Tak's partner/love interest Marina, who faked her death at the start of the game. The Guardian System was designed to prevent an alien invasion (here, the Zentraedi from Super Dimension Fortress Macross), but it runs off the pilot's lifeforce and the energy required to defeat the Zentraedi fleet would be fatal. Tak eventually unlocks the Guardian control program in his own mecha and convinces Marina that they should fight the invasion together so nobody has to die, which prompts her Heel–Face Turn back to the good guys and their eventual happy ending. As an added bonus linked to the storyline aspect of the Guardian, it actually does cause damage to the Gunark and Buster Ark when used, making these two the only mecha in the game capable of destroying themselves.

Battle Programmer Shirase has a technique called "Three Sisters Deathblow", where three scrapped Cosmos satellites are programmed for re-entry. The first two serve to shield the third from atmospheric heat, so that it can enter the atmosphere intact and precisely hit a target on the ground (or sea).

In Spider-Man (1981), Doctor Doom introduces us to a satellite-mounted laser — the laser part of which was actually a holdover from an earlier episode — and uses it to play with the Pacific Ring of Fire. As far as the "kill" part, the satellite turns out to have a surprisingly localized effect when it gets knocked off course, burns a path to his castle and bodily vaporizes him.

SDI: Strategic Defense Initiative subverts this trope. While you control a Kill Sat, that at the end of each stage goes back to the cargo hold of a space shuttle to be carried elsewhere, you use it to destroy enemy missiles, bases, and ships... in space.note Well, at most asteroid bases in the Master System version.

Ace Combat:
Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere has the OSL (Orbital Satellite Laser) unlockable weapon, which only requires a radar lock and the push of a button to annihilate any target in one hit, is available for all aircraft, and has plenty of "ammo" too.
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War has the SOLG (Strategic Orbital Linear Gun), a satellite-based railgun capable of firing MIRV-type nuclear warheads and wiping out half the major cities in the game's two main countries, and it's programmed to crash down into Earth if control from the surface is cut off. There's also the Arkbird, which is actually a huge spaceship rather than a satellite, but can still kick some ass down there when equipped with a laser system.
The Belkan laser-based superweapon Excalibur in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is kind of a downplayed example of one. While the weapon is ground based, it uses a network of satellites with mirror-like structures in orbit to redirect the beam, thus allowing Excalibur to increase its effective range and change its angle of attack as if were an orbital platform.

Star Trek (2009): The Narada's drill. It seems to blast some kind of epic fire rather than an actual laser, but it can punch straight to the core of a planet. This turns out to be problematic for Vulcan, as it allows the Romulans to drop a ball of black-hole-creating matter to the core and make it implode. Something like that in the hands of angry and "particularly troubled" Romulans? Oh sure, they get kinda Woobie with the backstory, but that still ain't a happy situation.

Sarah and the other members of the Commune ask him to use one of the surviving satellites to destroy a meteor that is rapidly approaching Earth. However, it turns out that they are deceiving him using their psychic powers. They actually want him to destroy an American spacecraft containing 1,000 politicians and military figures for whom only five or ten years have passed since the nuclear war of 2043 because of Time Dilation.

In Evil Zone, Metal Heroes parody Danzaiver's Limit Break has him calling upon a Kill Sat to strike at his enemy from orbit, complete with cutaway to the satellite itself. It's not as painful as it sounds. However, this technique is actually a grappling maneuver, which takes the concept to an unforeseen level of ridiculous.

The Dimension Tide in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus was designed to trap Godzilla within a miniaturised black hole. Unfortunately, a test firing of the satellite's cannon opened a wormhole for a very brief moment, allowing an egg from the Carboniferous period containing countless Meganulon and the larval Megaguirus to arrive in the present day. The Dimension Tide is later used at the end of the film to successfully trap Godzilla, although it seems to have merely imprisoned him underground...

Neuroshima has two potential examples:
The ARGUS system is a constellation of missile defence satellites equipped with powerful lasers.note similar to some proposals from the real-life Strategic Defense Initiative program Some say it can be reprogrammed to hit ground-based targets. Although, if that were the case, the Moloch would probably have used it for that purpose long ago.
There are rumors that the Orbital, a pre-war space station, has some kind of weapon system installed. Naturally some people are worried that the astronauts who are stuck up there will start to shoot random targets once they finally Go Mad from the Isolation.

VALIS: Almost completely inverted with VALIS. In addition to healing serious injuries and curing cancer, it provides telepathic assistance to keep you from getting killed (including taking control of the protagonist when he is framed as a Communist spy), advice (prophetic dreams, future knowledge, and at one point an audience with God), and immortality beyond death. The only thing it doesn't do is perform resurrections... at least not within the context of the story.

James Bond villains love this trope:
Diabolical Mastermind Ernst Stavro Blofeld helped pioneer this trope in Diamonds Are Forever. Willard Whyte, a faintly disguised version of Howard Hughes, is a reclusive billionaire who supposedly put a satellite into orbit as part of his Aerospace operations; it's actually Blofeld, impersonating Whyte, who went on to use the satellite's ability to focus the sun's light into a coherent beam and thus fire a laser anywhere on earth to attack important locations such as nuclear missile launch facilities or nuclear submarines.
Moonraker has a slight twist on this: Hugo Drax's Kill Sat is also an inhabited Space Station, where his master race will remain safe and sound while nerve gas wipes out the rest of humanity.
The titular weapons in GoldenEye are single-shot EMP-based Kill Sats. The first one is used to cover up the theft of the satellite control codes by destroying the operations base. The Big Bad plots to use the second one to knock out London (and all evidence of a grand electronic bank raid to be completed first), but is stopped by Bond and his Girl of the Movie, Natalya.
The villain in Die Another Day makes an orbital mirror that doubles as a Kill Sat.

In Schlock Mercenary, Earth has a ring of smartlucent microsatellites around the planet used primarily for climate control (smartlucent as in, they reflect light when and where they're told to). When the Toughs visit Earth in the Delegates and Delegation arc, Schlock wonders what would happen if all the satellites reflected their light at the same spot. He gets his answer when the ring is hijacked by terrorists faking a civil war: a pillar of hot, hull-melting death, hot enough to melt a building into slag and strong enough that it takes Dom Atlantis raising its shields before the beam can be deflected.

Epic Battle Fantasy 2 gives you one of these after you reach the first checkpoint. The final boss has the ability to do this, as well. It appears in the third game as well — though instead of a summon for Natalie, it's a Limit Break for Lance, and it's safer to use. Then in the fourth one, one of the bosses hacks it to use it on you, though you can use it as well if you find the right chest.

Resident Evil 5, in a seemingly desperate attempt to fit possibly every trope ever into one game, gave you a Kill Sat to fight one giant boss, that came with an "L.T.D." (short for Laser Targeting Device), which was effectively an empty bazooka with a laser attached to it, a la Gears of War's Hammer of Dawn. It takes a while to lock on, so it's good to have a friend stun the orbs you aiming at (which, by the way, are the giant orbs of a humongous version of the Uroboros you fought four chapters ago). The recharge time is ridiculous, and you can destroy the orbs you're aiming with bullets, but it's great when you hear the three quick beeps letting you know it stopped charging, and you can once again destroy whatever you lock on to.

The Tower of Babel in S.S.D.D. is an odd variation in that the satellite is only a mirror designed to redirect the lasers fired from a very large, very phallic looking tower. Apparently previous attempts at orbital weapons were either really large and easy to shoot down, or underpowered.

Stargate-verse:
Stargate SG-1:
In the season 4 episode "Absolute Power", the Harsesis (a human child born with the racial memories of the Goa'uld) gives Daniel a sample of that knowledge after warning him that "Evil is too strong". Daniel uses that knowledge to lead the construction of a network of kill sats intended to defend the Earth from The Goa'uld, but then takes sole control over it and destroys Moscow to prove his power and discourage retaliation. The entire thing was a dream given to him instead in order to teach him that Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.
In "Ethon", the Ori supply one of these to the Rand Protectorate, one of two feuding governments on the world of Tegalus. It ends up destroying Earth's first starship, the Prometheus.
The Asurans use a Kill Sat against Atlantis in the Stargate Atlantis episode "First Strike". The Kill Sat itself is a big ship with a stargate embedded in it. The beam is fired on the Asuran homeworld through a stargate, and out the other onto Atlantis. The Expedition also uses one (though it's actually a space station, not a satellite) in order to destroy a Wraith hive ship while a fleet of Wraith is on its way to Atlantis in in the finale of the first season.

In what is one of the (probably) few unintentional uses of a Kill Sat, the game Freelancer makes mention of a winter world attempting to use a vast array of orbital mirrors to gradually thaw out the world, or at least the settled parts of it. Evidently, someone didn't carry the one, because the in-game article states that it focused the refracted light into a single coherent beam and described the results as being akin to a superlaser bombardment on the colony.

Def-Con 4 is a case where it's a space station instead of an autonomous satellite. Nevertheless, the film's main protagonists are stationed in one and ordered to launch the nuclear missiles if war breaks out — which it does. One warhead that was not launched because of an apparent malfunction, but which remained armed and began counting down after the station crashed, is the film's biggest Diabolus ex Machina.

Epoch Evolution starts with a Chinese General Ripper launching an unauthorized nuclear strike at a Western space station armed with three laser weapons for shooting down ICBMs. The attack is preceded by a Chinese satellite disabling one of the weapons with a powerful jamming signal. Two of the missiles are shot down early enough, but the remaining one can only be hit by the disabled laser. The crew of the station manages to get control of it in time to destroy the missile, but the nuclear blast still destroys the station. In retaliation, a US sub torpedoes a Chinese one. Things start to snowball toward a nuclear war. Fortunately, they don't reach that point, and a Chinese party official has the rogue general arrested.

Macross:
Macross Plus reveals that, decades after Space War I, Earth has upgraded its defenses with a network of hundreds of thousands of densely-packed, automated Kill Sats that serve a dual purpose: vaporize orbital debris before it falls into the atmosphere, and discouraging invasion from external forces. When Isamu has to navigate this network and force his way into Earth, his only hope is to shoot down a couple of communication sats, hide among the falling debris, and pray. His companion has so little faith in their chances he just shuts himself off into hibernation.
On that subject, the conclusion to Space War I in Super Dimension Fortress Macross: the main Zentraedi fleet folds in and the first thing they do is shoot the Earth with several million (Not Hyperbole) Wave Motion Guns, turning most the surface into an arid wasteland and exterminating 90% of the human population.

Dungeons & Dragons has a spell called "Apocalypse from the Sky". No points for guessing what it does, considering it's not summoning kitties.
Also, in 4e Warlocks with a Starpact learn an spell that calls down an ice beam from the stars. Sustaining it drains the Warlock's life but continually ramps up the power. With Actions and a paladin sustaining him a Warlock could do several dozen D10's of damage over the course of the spell.

Fallout 3 has a Development Gag to the above with "Highwater Trousers" orbital platform. Broken Steel has the Enclave dust off the Bradley-Hercules satellite weapon (they were keeping it as a last resort, but Liberty Prime forced their hand), which you can use against either their own base or the Brotherhood of Steel Citadel. Then there is Mothership Zeta and its Wave-Motion Gun...

The rebuilt orbital defense system shows up again in "A Call to Arms", and this time manages to fire their Wave Motion Guns at the target, the Drakh fleet. The Drakh are obliterated... but, sadly, not in time to stop them from infecting Earth with their plague.

Stargate SG-1:
In the season 4 episode "Absolute Power", the Harsesis (a human child born with the racial memories of the Goa'uld) gives Daniel a sample of that knowledge after warning him that "Evil is too strong". Daniel uses that knowledge to lead the construction of a network of kill sats intended to defend the Earth from The Goa'uld, but then takes sole control over it and destroys Moscow to prove his power and discourage retaliation. The entire thing was a dream given to him instead in order to teach him that Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.
In "Ethon", the Ori supply one of these to the Rand Protectorate, one of two feuding governments on the world of Tegalus. It ends up destroying Earth's first starship, the Prometheus.

User Friendly is also fond of this trope, in the form of "Crowbar Satellites", which... well, drop crowbars from orbit. When the User Friendly crew were visiting Antarctica, one of the techs living there used a satellite to drop a crowbar on the unfortunate Predator wandering around outside with a soldering iron stuck in his eye (it's a long story), exploding him quite satisfactorily. Pitr (resident evil-genius wannabe) eventually got his own Crowbar Satellite... at least until one of the other techs found the remote and mistook it for a handheld game, wasting all the ammo.

Its primary purpose is to create a barrier around Kindle's main source of power — a large crystal that turns the land into desert while creating energy. The Black Onyx also features a potent laser beam.
Battalion Wars features a good guy version — the Doomsday Weapon used by the Solar Empire to put an end to the Iron Legion in the game's backstory.

In Wedge's Gamble, Rogue Squadron remote-control-hijacks a solar mirror orbiting Imperial Center. The mirrors are used to redirect sunlight, but this one was focused on one of the water reclamation plants in order to raise the local humidity to create a massive thunderstorm and knock out the power at a shield generator. Nothing exploded, but there was quite a bit of steam and melting going on.

Halo:
Human planets are defended by UNSC Orbital Defense Platforms, Orbital "Super MACs" (Magnetic Accelerator Cannons) that fire 3000-ton slugs at up to 4% the speed of light at incoming enemy warships. Smaller MAC weapons are mounted on every UNSC warship, and both versions can be turned to fire planetside in a tick.
Earth's orbital defense grid is featured in Halo 2; the announcement trailer has a debate between a general on the ground wanting those platforms to be used as Kill Sats against the already-landed invasion forces, and the admiral in orbit trying to hold off the Covenant fleet:
The expanded universe reveals that the Covenant have their own orbital defense stations, except theirs fire energy beams.
In Halo Wars, the smaller MAC Gun of the Cool Ship Spirit of Fire can be used as a more conventional, if ad hoc, Kill Sat. On the other hand, Covenant ground forces can call upon their own ships in orbit to deliver plasma bombardment or 'glassing' on their enemy.
Halo: Reach:
A MAC strike destroys a Covenant ship this way — then the Covenant bring a whole fleet:
After the Grafton destroys the Spire, it gets kill-satted by the Long Night of Solace's energy projector.
On a smaller scale, there's the Target Locator for calling down orbital bombardment strikes.

Fallout:
The scrapped Fallout: Van Buren project revolved around the B.O.M.B., one of two nuke-throwing death stations, still in orbit after 200 years, and still with its payload intact.
Fallout 3 has a Development Gag to the above with "Highwater Trousers" orbital platform. Broken Steel has the Enclave dust off the Bradley-Hercules satellite weapon (they were keeping it as a last resort, but Liberty Prime forced their hand), which you can use against either their own base or the Brotherhood of Steel Citadel. Then there is Mothership Zeta and its Wave-Motion Gun...
The player finally gets one of their own in Fallout: New Vegas, in the form of the Archimedes II solar death ray. Complete with a Lethal Joke Item for a target designator. Prior to that, you can fire the Archimedes I on the NCR's own Helios 1 plant, earning you infamy to them.
Taken up several notches in Fallout 76, in which the player can earn access to the Kovac-Muldoon orbital platform. Unlike in previous games, there's no limit to where you can aim the K-C or how many times you can use it, so craft some orbital strike beacons and go wild!

In Conspiracy X, the secret organization "Project Rasputin" has a psychic Kill Sat. It's a gigantic amplifier for a crew of psychic characters, letting them use their powers on anything from one building to several square kilometers. In that area it can do things like read minds, alter memories, or yes, kill people.
More directly, NASA also had "Gun Stars" that would fire hockey-puck sized chunks of metal really fast at ground targets.

The final issue of Global Frequency is based around a preset plan by the US government to cause a population reduction by blasting a few major cities with Kill Sats. These are kinetic harpoons, a single shot weapon mostly by virtue of being a fancy orbiting crossbow that fires an artificial diamond at enough speed that the kinetic energy goes off like a nuke when it strikes the ground.

Getter Robo features two of these, in Humongous Mecha form. The first, from the Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo OVA dispenses countless meteorites over North America, some of which are so large that they function as drop pods for other Humongous Mecha. The second is in the Getter Robo Go manga, and is of the laser variety. Though it can apparently fire multiple times in succession.

SDI also planned a pop-up one-shot X-ray laser satellite, powered by a nuke and (at least in theory) able to toast an area as wide as a football field. It was tested only once, and the result was inconclusive, but it serendipitously fueled the development of plenty of other technologies (many of them civil). This one was directly referenced in Shaman King, as Hao calls the Kill Sat in question as SDI X-ray laser. It may also have been an inspiration for the Goldeneye example.

Freespace: The second game introduces the Mjolnir RBC (Remote Beam Cannon), a stationary emplacement that fires a large green beam weapon, capable of doing major damage to even a Destroyer — class ship. Notable in that we only see them used to guard jump nodes, firing on enemy ships as soon as they emerge. We never see them used against ground targets, although there is nothing that would stop them from being used this way.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In the season 6 finale "Tears of the Prophets", the combined Federation, Klingon, and Romulan fleets attempt to invade a Cardassian world protected by kill-sats. These satellites appear again when the allied fleet manage to reach Cardassia near the series finale.
Star Trek: Enterprise: The Xindi weapon in season 3, which blasts a corridor of death from Florida to Venezuela in literal scorched earth campaign. And that was just the prototype. The finished version was designed to create an Earth-Shattering Kaboom.

The heroes in Time Crisis II are fighting to foil a plot to launch a nuclear equipped military satellite. A prototype copy of the satellite features as the Final Boss and is equipped with rockets, a laser and a guy in glasses perching on top with a pistol.

Fathom: The Blue had a network of these orbiting Earth before Killian's Blue Sun destroys them all to absorb their energy. In the event that the Surface Dwellers ever gave them a reason, this network could have obliterated every city on Earth several times over. They also had a secondary function of being spy satellites.

There's one in the Zoids: New Century series, as a side function of the Judge satellite. While it doesn't usually come up because the enemy uses Dark Judges, which skew the battle in their favor, in one specific instance there's a regular Judge on the battlefield and the bad guys ignore him completely, prompting him to call down a barrage that completely frags the remaining enemies and their Airborne Aircraft Carrier.

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War has the SOLG (Strategic Orbital Linear Gun), a satellite-based railgun capable of firing MIRV-type nuclear warheads and wiping out half the major cities in the game's two main countries, and it's programmed to crash down into Earth if control from the surface is cut off. There's also the Arkbird, which is actually a huge spaceship rather than a satellite, but can still kick some ass down there when equipped with a laser system.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Shun Kurosaki has a card called "Raid Raptors — Satellite Cannon Falcon", which is a Kill Sat combined with a giant cybernetic falcon. Combined with the Hard Light technology of the setting, it has absolutely devastating results — he blew up the stadium, and in the following 20+ episodes it never gets fixed. He's also banned from dueling there again.

Used in A Dream. As part of Valiant's satellite program, he's launched several stations capable of carrying out kinetic bombardment of nearly any location in Equestria. So far it's only been used against Gabby, which while it failed to kill her, it completely destroyed the landscape and is the only thing to even come close to disabling Tin Mare.

Kill Sats show up in many Gundam series, although they aren't quite as common as the Colony Drop.
Mobile Suit Gundam has the Solar Ray, a super weapon made out of a colony. In the anime, it's burnt up after using it to kill General Revil and Degwin Zabi. In the novel, it's fully operational and it outright murders both sides.
Zeta Gundam has the Gryps Colony Laser. Which makes a return in the final episode of Gundam Unicorn.
Victory Gundam has the Keilas Guilie... and it is still around in ∀ Gundam.
Gundam Wing has the Space Fortress Barge and Space Fortress Libra.
Gundam X also has a colony laser. The titular mobile suit itself is a Kill Sat in a mech; Garrod once used the Satellite System in this manner, using the system as if he was preparing to fire the Satellite Cannon, then getting out of the beam's way.
Gundam SEED has the Gamma Emission by Nuclear Explosion Stimulate Inducing System, or GENESIS. It's an enormous gamma ray cannon that fires what is best described as a massive microwave beam powered by nuclear explosions. And it's estimated to be powerful enough to wipe out half of all life on Earth with a single shot.
Gundam SEED Destiny has the Requiem and the Neo-GENESIS.
In Gundam SEED Stargazer, DSSD turns their space station, Apollon A, into one of these to destroy the Phantom Pain ship attacking them.
Gundam 00 has the Memento Mori. Two of them.
According to the backstory given in the original Gundam novels, the reason space colonization was needed was due to the Federation bombarding the Earth with kill sats entirely by accident. They tried to solve the world's energy problems with solar power satellites, but miscalculated the power of the microwave beams used to transmit the energy to the surface and almost burned off the entire atmosphere.
Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE shocks the fandom with one of these. Alus reveals this from the moon base he was in and, despite BUILD DiVERS trying their best, it fires and completely nukes the city of Seguri from the face of Eldora. The second half of the series is devoted to making sure Alus doesn't pull off a round two.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury has the Interplanetary Laser Transmission System. That name is a lie — it's one of these disguised as an energy transferring system. The Space Assembly League plan to use this to obliterate Quiet Zero, knowing full well pulling this off would also ravage those living at Lagrange 4, planning to allow Peil Technologies to lead the reconstruction. The first shot is blocked by the Aerial Rebuild and the Gundnodes, destroying the Gundnodes and ravaging the Aerial. Suletta in the Calibarn unleashes a powerful data storm using the Aerial, Pharact and Schwartzette to shut it down for good, at the cost of the Gundams and ravaging her body.

The Death Star from A New Hope, and its successor in Return of the Jedi. It's not technically a satellite, since it's a mobile space station with millions of staff, a full complement of fighters and support ships, thousands of secondary weapons, and a planet-shattering superlaser — however, it is seen orbiting the planet Yavin in A New Hope so that it can turn its superlaser on the moon where the main rebel base is located.

Superman:
In Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man, Lex Luthor appropiates Comlab, an orbiting communications laboratory, and turns it into a weapon capable of controlling the weather. He creates a giant storm with the deliberate intention of destroying human civilization, but Superman and Spider-Man stop him.
In War World, the eponymous super-weapon is a star-sized satellite equipped with weapons that can easily disintegrate planets. When Superman and Supergirl attempt to destroy it, they confirm that a pair of blows of the weakest weapon of Warworld can kill them in spite of being nigh invulnerable.
In The Phantom Zone, General Zod and his criminal band build a giant space cannon, powered by Green Lantern's power battery, to send Earth into the Phantom Zone.
In Luthor Unleashed, Lex Luthor builds an orbital weapon which surrounds Metropolis with a force field, cutting the city off from the outside world almost completely. Superman soon figures out that tampering with the force field or the satellite itself will trigger a detonation, obliterating Metropolis.
One of the Kryptonite Rings which Superman helps Leo Quintum design in All-Star Superman is a cannon that's fired from the Moon which can send Superman into the Phantom Zone.

In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, the Artifice Siren, commanded by Mythra, is a Humongous Mecha floating in space that wields a particle cannon. As part of Mythra's and, in New Game Plus as of patch version 1.3.0, Pneuma Level IV Blade Special, she calls on Siren to rain lasers from above onto the target (so long as there isn't a roof over the party's head). Its targeting ray is apparently enough to kill Pyra, when she threatens to do so in order to get Torna to take her without harming the rest of the party.

New Legends has the main villain, Xao Gon, using a powerful particle beam satellite called the God's Eye as his ultimate Trump card. Said weapon is a forbidden technology whose blueprints were supposedly destroyed, but Xao Gon managed to obtain a backup and have it constructed in his lab underneath the Forbidden City, with the final stage having you and the resistance stopping Xao Gon from using it. Appropriately enough, Xao Gon would suffer a Karmic Death when his satellite gets sabotaged — its first and only shot is the one which vaporizes Xao Gon in the final cutscene.

An early First Wave episode has the protagonist investigate the death of a college student who is revealed to have been working on a government project to deploy a series of nuclear missile-armed satellites in Earth's orbit. While he initially assumes they're there to attack other nations, the fact that they're pointing away from Earth tips him off that the government is aware of (some sort of) an alien threat and are taking precautions. Unfortunately, the aliens find out about this and send their agent to set the satellites to self-destruct, showing Earth with radioactive material. Since Cade foils this plot, the satellites are assumed to still be up there. None if this is ever mentioned again.

The Season 2 finale of Blindspot reveals that using one of these is key to Sandstorm's ultimate plan, based on the more realistic principle of a satellite (which Sandstorm put into orbit) launching a projectile from high orbit to impact the surface. This one has the added component of being targeted for the GPS coordinates of some nuclear material that Sandstorm stole; the impact will cause it to disperse over most of the East Coast.

Macross Plus reveals that, decades after Space War I, Earth has upgraded its defenses with a network of hundreds of thousands of densely-packed, automated Kill Sats that serve a dual purpose: vaporize orbital debris before it falls into the atmosphere, and discouraging invasion from external forces. When Isamu has to navigate this network and force his way into Earth, his only hope is to shoot down a couple of communication sats, hide among the falling debris, and pray. His companion has so little faith in their chances he just shuts himself off into hibernation.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: In the last third of the second season, securing one of these was part of the plot. The bad guys—an extraterrestrial Eldritch Abomination and a brainwashed prince—were planning to use it to scour the Earth of all life. The 4Kids dub claimed the satellite fired a brainwashing beam and that the bad guys were planning to use it to take control of the world, but forgot to edit out the satellite's laser destroying the landscape before the heroes could stop it. Its owner, the aforementioned prince, duels with a deck built around his love for Kill Sats, using three copies of Satellite Cannon as well as a much larger Fusion of three of them.
The card itself is just as Cool. It cannot be destroyed by battle with anything less than Level 8 (signifying the difficulties of attacking it), Gains 1000 attack per turn (charging for its attack), and sadly loses its ATK after attacking (empty, reload). This has some potential problems when you realize that you do not have to attack with it to have it be in a battle (if it attacks, then and only then does it lose its ATK). Many cards force your opponent to attack and some even allow you to control who your opponent attacks. You can even summon three of them at once using a Spell Card called Machine Duplication.

Godzilla:
The Soviet Nuclear Attack Satellite in The Return of Godzilla counts as this, being a military satellite operated by Soviet Russia armed to the teeth with ICBMs. In the original Japanese film, the Satellite is accidentally activated after Godzilla damages the boat carrying the launch system, but not before the ship's commander, Colonel Kashirin, bravely tries to stop the launch sequence, but dies in the process. In the American dub, he deliberately launches the missile.
The Dimension Tide in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus was designed to trap Godzilla within a miniaturised black hole. Unfortunately, a test firing of the satellite's cannon opened a wormhole for a very brief moment, allowing an egg from the Carboniferous period containing countless Meganulon and the larval Megaguirus to arrive in the present day. The Dimension Tide is later used at the end of the film to successfully trap Godzilla, although it seems to have merely imprisoned him underground...

In Jack's ending in Tekken 2, he is destroyed by a Kill Sat in front of young Jane. In his Tekken 3 ending, he is carrying adult Jane on his shoulder, when Dr. Abel tries to do the same thing, but he protects her and himself with a Beehive Barrier.

The Futurama episode "Crimes of the Hot" has an unintentional satellite of doom. In an effort to defeat Global Warming, Farnsworth's rival Wernstrom creates a giant mirror to reflect the sun's rays. When the giant mirror is knocked off course, it focuses a beam of sunlight on the Earth that incinerates everything in its path. Epic Fail. Later in the episode, when President of Earth Richard Nixon lures all the robots in the world to the Galapagos Islands to destroy them,note The gases they spew being the cause of the greenhouse effect accelerating he has Wernstrom convert his mirror satellite into an EMP satellite to fire it at the Galapagos and permanently deactivate all the robots.

Man of Steel (and the opening of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) has the Kryptonian World Engine, which is used for terraforming planets using a destructive pillar of light with gravitational effects; while not explicitly a tool for mass murder, it has that effect by default if deployed over a populated area, and indeed the Kryptonians park it directly over Metropolis.

The Sky Fortress Damocles from Code Geass. Technically not a satellite but a floating fortress armed with a cannon that shoots F.L.E.I.J.A. warheads, but since it was supposed to be flown out of the atmosphere and placed on a geosynchronous orbit, it fulfills all the criteria for a Kill Sat (it's in space, it rains doom on people).

In PlanetSide, each empire has access to an orbital laser that can annihilate anything outdoors after a short charge-up period. If you hear the distinctive whine of the strike and you aren't in a vehicle or already at a dead sprint, You Are Already Dead. Orbital Strikes can be called in by players that have reached Command Rank 4, and the blast radius gets upgraded at Rank 5.

Fate/Grand Order: In "Lostbelt 5.1: Ancient Ocean of the Dreadnought Gods, Atlantis", one of the biggest threats Chaldea faces is one of these, a massive divine satellite in orbit that unleashes massive magical lasers powerful enough to reduce islands to nothing and it's classified as an Anti-Planet Noble Phantasm. It's actually the true form of the Moon Goddess Artemis herself. You see, in the Nasuverse, the Twelve Olympians were once massive alien machine life-forms that gained sentience and humanity from mingling with humans after their original bodies were destroyed by another extraterrestrial threat. This Lostbelt shows what happens when said Olympians managed to keep their old bodies.

The Bible: Although God deals out punishment from Heaven several times, special points go to the story of Elijah. The prophet is sitting on a hill when a captain leading fifty soldiers approaches and calls out, "Man of God, by order of the king, come down!" Elijah responds, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you with your fifty men!" A second captain leading fifty men suffers the same fate, and the third one appears begging for his life. An angel tells Elijah that this one is safe to go with.

Vector Thrust boasts the EOS-02 MRSA satellite, which uses a scalar-based laser system to One-Hit Kill most, if not all objects barring other superweapons. While each beam is small, there are a lot of satellites. The Blackstar UAV is functionally the same, except it's an upscaled Darkstar reconnaissance drone equipped with no less than three microwave lasers on its underbelly for shooting down enemy nuclear missiles before they reach orbit. Nobody's stopping it from pointing these lasers at other things.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VII has two. One was the "Bahamut ZERO" summon (though it was less a satellite and more a giant dragon blasting the enemy from orbit), and the other was one of Barret's level three limit breaks called "Satellite Beam", which does exactly what the name suggests (even underground).
Crisis Core had Bahamut Fury turn the Moon into a Kill Sat.
Final Fantasy IX has another summons that seems to do much the same thing, Ark, complete with mystical targeting electronics readouts.
Final Fantasy XII has yet another in the form of the Holy summon Ultima, who fires a beam from space via a cannon mounted below herself from space, as a finishing move.
Ultima did it again in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. However, this version only did MP damage. Watching a gigantic lance of energy smash into the enemy from above with an explosion of magical force, only to see nobody at all physically harmed, let alone reduced to a pair of smouldering boots... a case could be made for subversion, there. The sequel makes Ultima deal Light-based damage on all enemies and heal all allies. There are others with this Modus Operandi, as well.
Duodecim gives access to one of these to Laguna as one of his HP attacks.
Final Fantasy Dimensions has Holy. Small beam targets an enemy, large one obliterates it — even in the World of Nil.
Final Fantasy XIV has the Machinist's Level 3 Limit Break call one down to raze whatever boss is unfortunate to be in its path.

The Belkan laser-based superweapon Excalibur in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War is kind of a downplayed example of one. While the weapon is ground based, it uses a network of satellites with mirror-like structures in orbit to redirect the beam, thus allowing Excalibur to increase its effective range and change its angle of attack as if were an orbital platform.

Exterminatus Now, being a combination of Sonic the Hedgehog and Warhammer 40,000, is named after the command that field agents of the Mobian Inquisition can use in times of imminent defeat or upon discovering a massive demon incursion to request a direct strike from an orbital weapons platform on their current position — which means if they don't manage to get far away quickly enough, they too will go out with a bang. This is a toned down version of the WH40K Exterminatus...

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Virtual Nightmare filler arc, Gozaboro Kaiba's former right-hand man Daimon/Lecter (who takes the form of "Jinzoningen — Psycho Shocker") summons a monster called Satellite Cannon, which is quite a pain for Kaiba until he finally summons Blue-Eyes White Dragon and destroys it.
Damon hints in the original version that Gozaburo was working on a real version of a Kill Sat before he was ousted from his position. It turns out that he succeeded and the weapon was in orbit ready to fire. Noah uses it to destroy the mechanical fortress sustaining the virtual world; he changes his mind and tries to stop it, but Yami Marik destroyed the controls when he stepped away.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: In the last third of the second season, securing one of these was part of the plot. The bad guys—an extraterrestrial Eldritch Abomination and a brainwashed prince—were planning to use it to scour the Earth of all life. The 4Kids dub claimed the satellite fired a brainwashing beam and that the bad guys were planning to use it to take control of the world, but forgot to edit out the satellite's laser destroying the landscape before the heroes could stop it. Its owner, the aforementioned prince, duels with a deck built around his love for Kill Sats, using three copies of Satellite Cannon as well as a much larger Fusion of three of them.
The card itself is just as Cool. It cannot be destroyed by battle with anything less than Level 8 (signifying the difficulties of attacking it), Gains 1000 attack per turn (charging for its attack), and sadly loses its ATK after attacking (empty, reload). This has some potential problems when you realize that you do not have to attack with it to have it be in a battle (if it attacks, then and only then does it lose its ATK). Many cards force your opponent to attack and some even allow you to control who your opponent attacks. You can even summon three of them at once using a Spell Card called Machine Duplication.
Continuing with the trend, Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL has "Number 9: Dyson Sphere", a weaponized space colony that's the 2nd largest monster in the game, falling just behind its Chaos Number form "Chaos Dyson Sphere".
In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Shun Kurosaki has a card called "Raid Raptors — Satellite Cannon Falcon", which is a Kill Sat combined with a giant cybernetic falcon. Combined with the Hard Light technology of the setting, it has absolutely devastating results — he blew up the stadium, and in the following 20+ episodes it never gets fixed. He's also banned from dueling there again.
Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Stories: In the backstory of the Sky Striker arc, the AI-run nation of Spectra used satellite weapons to render humanity extinct. The AIs of the nation Karma blew up all the satellites, filling the planet's orbit with so much debris that that it is impossible to launch anything into orbit again. In the final part of the arc, Azalea reveals that there was one satellite that they missed and commands it to blast her enemies, but Raye is able to shoot it down before it can fire.

A variation of Kill Sats appeared in the All Things Probable Series story: A Friend in Darkness. The villains of the story, Monkey Fist (who had been infused with the power of the Yono) and Maze, used a device called an Ultra-Atmospheric Jammer to seize control of the world's communication satellites and use them to channel the Yono's petrification power across the world to create an army of Living Statues.
Monkey Fist also had a more destructive lightning bolt attack, and some readers wonder why he didn't channel that through the satellites.

Neverwinter Nights added one in the second Expansion Pack with the Epic Spell "Greater Ruin" (though no mention is made of a "Ruin" spell) that includes a beam of earth-shaking golden light striking from above, then tracking across the ground onto target. There is also the "Hammer of the Gods" spell, which causes a large yellow column of holy light to strike the target. "Greater Ruin" also causes holy energy damage. It is likely an upgraded version of "Hammer of the Gods".

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Eggman's orbital station known as the Death Egg. The original was central to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and later games featured other incarnations like the Death Egg mk. II or the Death Egg II. The one in Sonic Battle showed its true power by destroying a star.
In Sonic Adventure 2, the bad guys take control of the Space Colony ARK and threaten to use the Eclipse Cannon (so named because at full power with all seven Chaos Emeralds it can pierce stars) on the populace, demonstrating its power by using it to destroy half of the moon. Fortunately, the heroes managed to short-circuit the system in time to prevent the planet's destruction (what happened afterwards is a different story).
Shadow the Hedgehog:
The game saw the Eclipse Cannon used once again. In several of the routes, the Black Arms take control of it from G.U.N. and fire it down at a city on Earth, wiping it out (thankfully, the city was evacuated). In the Final Story, it's used to the destroy the Black Comet and the alien menance once and for all, which was apparently the original reason Gerald Robotnik made the cannon before he went crazy.
The game featured a "Satellite Gun" as one of several rewards for beating the game; this was a targeting beam for what was presumably an orbital laser satellite. There's a significant delay before firing, during which the target often moves away, which is probably why the laser doesn't see more use by the heroes.
Sonic Unleashed: One of Eggman's satellites is equipped with the Chaos Energy Cannon. After draining Super Sonic's Chaos Energy, it was used to break the Earth open and release Dark Gaia.

The Satellite Rain weapon in Syndicate Wars drops a tungsten-uranium alloy rod which melts into ten "raindrops", each a couple of seconds apart. While it can level buildings, so does a regular land mine. Just not with half the style.

Fairy Tail features the Etherion, a magical version of this. It takes about an hour for the Council to charge it up, and then it blasts down with the power of more than two billion, seven hundred million ideas of magical energy, which is about equivalent to the combined magical energies of all the wizards on the continent. According to one member of the Council, its destructive power is sufficient to wipe a country off the face of the planet. Naturally, the arc's villain manipulated the council into firing the weapon at his magic tower (which was secretly designed to absorb magical energy) so he can use the energy as a power battery for his spell to resurrect history's most infamous black wizard. As the tower takes too much damage in the battle between him and the heroes, however, the energy starts to leak out and runs the risk of going out of control and exploding anyways. Only barely is the tower forced to fire the energy back into space to avoid a massive loss of life.

In Warhammer 40,000, Exterminatus is the command used by the Inquisition when demons or heresy spread too far across the planet to be contained by covert or even overt military action. All possible (or at least important) Imperial forces pull out, and the orbiting fleet blows the planet in any of a wide variety of ways, ranging from glassing the surface with hundreds of multi-gigaton warheads and ship-based beam weapons, to bombs filled with viruses that turn all organic matter into sludge, and "cyclonic torpedoes" that light the atmosphere on fire in a rather Homeworld-esque way. All of these methods aim for one thing: rendering life on the planet impossible.
Even when you don't need to destroy the entire planet, the various factions aren't above shelling the battlefield from orbit.
There is a giant defense system in Terra's solar system meant to defend it against enemy fleets thousands strong. It includes Kill Sats, moons that were hollowed out and made into bases, and a whole space fleet to name a few items.
This being Warhammer 40k, sometimes setting the atmosphere on fire, rendering organic matter into its constituent molecules or just plain old turning everything into molten slag just is not enough.. for this, there are two stage torpedoes which will actually blow a planet up.
Lampshaded in the Ciaphis Cain novels, with Cain admitting that occasionally a planet is too far gone even for bombardment, as it won't work and merely "gives them ideas".

In Shadowrun, "Thor shots" are Kill Sats that fire space junk at the target. It has similar power to a nuclear device and is treated as such. Orbital lasers also exist, and one was used on the dragon Alamais. He survived. Neo-Tokyo also has a power generating satellite in geosynchronous orbit, which as is quickly pointed out, also an enormous orbital microwave laser cannon. It's jokingly suggested in-universe that it's there in case Gojira attacks the city.

In Planet Alcatraz, each of the prison planets has an "Orbital security and surveillance complex" hovering in orbit. It is equipped for precision strikes again targets on the ground, on the air or in space. Your mission is to locate the space shuttle in construction, so that it can be destroyed with an orbital strike. Also, if you spill details about your mission to an NPC in Northern City, you get to see an orbital strike killing your team and everyone in the area, resulting in a Non-Standard Game Over.

The Cardinal of the Kremlin: The simultaneous development of anti-satellite weapons by the US and the USSR is a major plot point. As the lasers were ground-located, they weren't technically Kill Sats, but the US system included the ability to bounce the laser beam off of multiple orbiting mirrors, thus hitting any target on the planet. It worked, too, except that the laser was too weak to do much more than give the target a mild sunburn.

The Allied Athena Cannon in Red Alert 3, in the form of a truck-mounted Laser Sight and comms boom paired with a Kill Sat up in orbit — also less verbatim. Oddly, though, each truck purchased gives you control of a different satellite, leading some players to wonder why, if they have all these satellites up there, they can't just use them all at once. However, given that the Allies are clearly obsessed with data security ("clearance" must be purchased in order to deploy more advanced weapons), it does make a kind of sense for them not to give you too many at once.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation: Cobra's Zeus satellites, which they use to break London like an egg. Want to know something scary? That appears to be a very accurate depiction of how such a system would function in reality. The only mistake they make is when they say that the satellite "drops" its rods instead of launching them. If it merely dropped the rods, then they'd continue orbiting with the satellite instead of falling to the surface. The rods have to launched on a tangential velocity in order to reduce their orbit and get them to fall where intended.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Virtual Nightmare filler arc, Gozaboro Kaiba's former right-hand man Daimon/Lecter (who takes the form of "Jinzoningen — Psycho Shocker") summons a monster called Satellite Cannon, which is quite a pain for Kaiba until he finally summons Blue-Eyes White Dragon and destroys it.
Damon hints in the original version that Gozaburo was working on a real version of a Kill Sat before he was ousted from his position. It turns out that he succeeded and the weapon was in orbit ready to fire. Noah uses it to destroy the mechanical fortress sustaining the virtual world; he changes his mind and tries to stop it, but Yami Marik destroyed the controls when he stepped away.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes featured two variants of Kill Sat, both of which are designed as space-based defences: the giant Iserlohn Fortress occupying an important choke-point in the Imperial frontier and the Artemis Necklace networks of battle-satellites orbiting around determinated planets. The Artemis Necklace is notable for being extremely powerful, wiping out an Imperial warfleet off-screen, but ultimately failing against the amazing skills of their opponents in the two occasions it's used on-screen.

A very unconventional example in Geostorm. The Dutch Boy satellites are orbiting weather control machines that are meant to save people by changing the weather in a specific area. The plot revolves around them doing the opposite (which is made blatantly clear by the trailers). The Moscow satellite plays it particularly straight by attacking the city with a massive heat ray very akin to the (in)famous one in Die Another Day.

A miniature variant (Romanov Attack Satellite) appears as a regular enemy in Heavy Weapon. It will fire a death ray downwards, which will instantly fry your tank if it hits, regardless of your shielding. To avoid such a fate, you have to shoot at it to push it away from you. It's also the game's signature enemy. Uniquely for a Kill Sat, it doesn't appear to be travelling in space; rather, the satellite apparently travels through the atmosphere at similar heights to other Red Star aircraft, which raises questions on exactly how it works and if it's even a "satellite", given that a tank can shoot it down.

In Beast Wars, an alien race known as the Vok had built a gigantic death ray (well, a heat ray designed to detonate all the Energon they'd placed in the crust) within a second artificial moon orbiting Earth with the purpose of getting rid of the Earth "experiment" if it didn't work out or would cause them problems.

The GDI Ion Cannon in the Tiberium games is a by-the-book kind — used and abused against the Brotherhood of Nod. It has a humble start killing small targets but eventually moves to leveling entire military bases. As of Tiberian Twilight, it even has adjustable power settings, and there are even some foot-soldiers that can call down a strike (first seen in Renegade with the Ion Cannon Beacon). Compare this to Nod's excessive use of tactical nukes.
In the Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath expansion, GDI have an additional orbital attack protocol: Thor's Hammer orbital attack satellites that fire Mjölnir rods at the surface, decimating Kane's little armor divisions with impunity.
The Scrin, having a bunch of support starships beyond Neptune's orbit, as well as wormhole capabilities, can deploy a Tiberium-laced asteroid against ground targets, as well as call down a Tiberium-seeding beam from orbit. None of these are superweapon-grade, however.

Greg Mandel Trilogy:
In Mindstar Rising, Julia Evans creates an improvised version by hacking her own space probe so it remains in Earth orbit. She intended to place a phone call to the Big Bad to establish the location of his yacht, then Colony Drop the probe on it. It ends up getting used in a similar manner in the climax of the novel.
By the third book, the area of concern is a surprise attack by a Space Plane armed with kinetic energy harpoons, so networks of high-orbit defense platforms have been organised on a regional basis rather than political alliances. Strictly defensive, but as there's a fear of them also having hidden kinetic energy harpoons, spy satellites are put up to keep an eye on them. The protagonists are investigating a possible First Contact by an alien lifeform, and there's a lot of concern that the alien might be hostile. A Russian general who is a friend of Greg's tells him he has the means to access these defense satellites to take direct action if needed.

In Imaginary Seas, Zoe Nightshade assists Percy through her constellation in the stars, raining arrows in the form of lasers upon foes in the general direction of Percy's sword swings through their mutual connection in Riptide. While these beams are normally a mere D-Rank Noble Phantasm, enough to injure but not kill a Servant, their power rises dramatically at night when the stars and moon are visible, easily delivering a Boom, Headshot! death to the soldiers Lostbelt Chiron sends after Percy. At full power, they're strong enough to scour an island.

Earth's orbital defense grid is featured in Halo 2; the announcement trailer has a debate between a general on the ground wanting those platforms to be used as Kill Sats against the already-landed invasion forces, and the admiral in orbit trying to hold off the Covenant fleet:

In Spore, you get the "Uber Turret", a fast-moving low-orbit satellite missile platform. It is an inversion in that instead of attacking ground targets (you deploy on your own colonies; not exactly the thing you'd want to blow), it is used to destroy (in a matter of seconds) squadrons of alien invaders that enter your planet's atmosphere.

Captain Vladimir, Rank 3 in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, has a radio uplink to an old Soviet Union satellite cannon called Volk. It has two functions: a rain of smaller beams that deal good damage, and the "big beam". The big one's a One-Hit Kill.

The Soviet Nuclear Attack Satellite in The Return of Godzilla counts as this, being a military satellite operated by Soviet Russia armed to the teeth with ICBMs. In the original Japanese film, the Satellite is accidentally activated after Godzilla damages the boat carrying the launch system, but not before the ship's commander, Colonel Kashirin, bravely tries to stop the launch sequence, but dies in the process. In the American dub, he deliberately launches the missile.

AKIRA:
SOL is used to sucker punch a rampaging Tetsuo, incinerating his right arm in one shot. The reason why it doesn't get a second chance varies: in the anime, Tetsuo flies up and crushes it while the military is still recalibrating; in the manga, he just runs away and goes into hiding, leaving the satellite available for the Colonel to use against him in the final battle.
As nice as SOL is, it's hard to argue against "Floyd", the Kill Sat used by the US Military near the end of the manga, having it beaten hands-down — able to fire multiple beams at once, move the beam while firing, widen the beam... The American commander actually orders the entirety of Japan to be targeted at one point! Not that any of these features kept Tetsuo from boarding the thing and crashing it on top of the US command carrier... Although only Floyd makes an actual appearance, it is perhaps worth noting that it was introduced as "the only one currently in range of Neo-Tokyo"... so, just how many ARE there...?

Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Stories: In the backstory of the Sky Striker arc, the AI-run nation of Spectra used satellite weapons to render humanity extinct. The AIs of the nation Karma blew up all the satellites, filling the planet's orbit with so much debris that that it is impossible to launch anything into orbit again. In the final part of the arc, Azalea reveals that there was one satellite that they missed and commands it to blast her enemies, but Raye is able to shoot it down before it can fire.

In the South Park episode "Sons a Witches", the men in town have an annual witch week, during which one of them, Chip Duncan, uses a spell book to transform into a real witch. He proceeds to terrorize the town and kidnap children. This is resolved when the kids call their old fourth-grade teacher Mr. Garrison, who had the previous year been elected President of the United States. Mr. Garrison flies to South Park in Air Force One, and tries to talk Chip down. When it fails because Chip claims to be more powerful than ever, Mr. Garrison replies "you wanna see what real power is?" and has a US military space laser incinerate Chip, leaving nothing but dust. The men cheer and then proceed to party with El Presidente.

The Asurans use a Kill Sat against Atlantis in the Stargate Atlantis episode "First Strike". The Kill Sat itself is a big ship with a stargate embedded in it. The beam is fired on the Asuran homeworld through a stargate, and out the other onto Atlantis. The Expedition also uses one (though it's actually a space station, not a satellite) in order to destroy a Wraith hive ship while a fleet of Wraith is on its way to Atlantis in in the finale of the first season.

Armored Core:
The Justice cannon is a space-based laser cannon which fired once, charring the surface of Earth and forcing humanity underground and to Mars in order to survive. Later, someone attempts to fire it again, and the player must take the fight down the barrel of the cannon to stop it from annihilating the planet. This fight, by the way, is between robots that are at least fifty, and probably closer to one hundred feet tall, and they fight down the barrel of a space gun that takes a full three seconds of flight to reach the top of. That is a big fucking gun.
In Armored Core: Silent Line, a Kill Sat takes out anything that crosses the titular boundary. In Armored Core: For Answer, its revealed that there are so goddamn many of these cannons in Earth Orbit that it become impossible to reach space.

Nothing exploded, but there was quite a bit of steam and melting going on.

In Rebel Dream, the New Republic pulls this off for the first time with Operation Emperor's Hammer, using the Lusankya to bombard the Yuuzhan Vong warriors assaulting the Borleias base.

In Rifts many people believe that Earth is surrounded by Kill Sats put into orbit by the nations before the Great Cataclysm, which is why nothing can be launched into space without being destroyed.

Paperinik New Adventures:
It is stated that Xerba had a powerful network of these for defense, believed to be able to stop any and all attacks. However, we don't get to see it in action, as the Evronians convince the Xerbians to sign a trading treaty and temporarily deactivate the defense network and invade in that small window of opportunity, quickly overrunning the capital to prevent reactivation and conquering the planet in a matter of days.
Earth is also stated to have one such defensive network. While far less efficient than Xerba's, it is seen in action as it wipes out a number of Evronian ships and is believed formidable enough that it would cause unacceptable losses to an Evronian invasion... Assuming it detects them, as Evronian stealth technology is advanced enough to make it rather hard.

In Phantasy Star Online 2, if a Ranger or a Gunner uses an Assault Rifle, they can use a photon art that has them call down a laser blast from orbit. Holding down the trigger button allows it to deal more damage, but it leaves the player vulnerable to attack, making this Awesome, but Impractical. In New Genesis, the Photon Art is changed into a Photon Burst when a player uses an Assault Rifle that calls down a laser beam from orbit, and the player is temporarily made invulnerable to attack while its active.

Gears of War: The Hammer of Dawn, controlled by the good guys, and somewhat more limited than usual for this trope as it requires a grunt on the ground to 'paint' the target using a handheld laser gun from close range; getting into a position it can reach while it's overhead plays a part in the stages where it's used. The Hammer only works in certain weather conditions — it's how they explain it only being used occasionally. The government in Gears deliberately Kill Satted most of the planet to stem the Locust invasion, which is the major reason for all the Scenery Gorn.

System Shock has the Tachyon Mining Beam on Tri-Optimum's Citadel Station, in orbit around Saturn. A note says that it can be "easily configured for military usage" on top of the hundreds of other weapons available on the station itself. In-game, the station's AI SHODAN first tries to use this laser to obliterate human cities. You have to disable the laser by blasting it into the Station's shields, but you can also get a glimpse of what happens if it is fired directly.

Wormhole Driver from The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye is an old (but still fully operational) Kill Sat capable of creating Black Holes on top of the targeted area (which means that depending on the power used in such attack it can most likely destroy anything up to the entire planet)

Shadow the Hedgehog:
The game saw the Eclipse Cannon used once again. In several of the routes, the Black Arms take control of it from G.U.N. and fire it down at a city on Earth, wiping it out (thankfully, the city was evacuated). In the Final Story, it's used to the destroy the Black Comet and the alien menance once and for all, which was apparently the original reason Gerald Robotnik made the cannon before he went crazy.
The game featured a "Satellite Gun" as one of several rewards for beating the game; this was a targeting beam for what was presumably an orbital laser satellite. There's a significant delay before firing, during which the target often moves away, which is probably why the laser doesn't see more use by the heroes.

The artificial suns are run by freewill computers, one of which goes power-mad and threatens to fry a city unless it's given control of the other artificial suns.

Mega Man:
Mega Man X4: the Final Weapon satellite was such a Kill Sat that Sigma was trying to use to destroy the Earth.
In Mega Man X8, Optic Sunflower's Earth Crush and Zero's Tenshouha calls a gigantic laser from above. For an Easter Egg, a simulation of the Final Weapon is shown when Sunflower uses it.
SearchMan.exe can summmon a small one as his most damaging attack in the Mega Man Battle Network series. Unfortunately for him, it's also the easiest of his attacks to avoid, as it'll only fire if its targeting cursor touches you, and if it does, it can still be sidestepped.
The Ragnarok satellite in Mega Man Zero 4 was built by Big Bad Dr. Weil to help destroy all inhabitable places on Earth. After Craft's Hazy-Feel Turn and he uses Ragnarok to destroy Neo Arcadia, Dr. Weil then uses it for a Colony Drop. Zero destroys the satellite, with himself still in it.

In Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen, Soundwave's alt mode is that of a satellite. Instead of normal projectiles, however, he fires other Decepticons, notably his minion Ravage. — and if his toy bio has any credence, he's hacked so many satellites that he could destroy human civilization if he got bored.

Yu-Gi-Oh! has Satellite Cannon. While it has 0 attack points it gains 1000 attack points every turn and continues to charge itself up indefinitely. And it cannot be destroyed by monsters who are Level 7 or lower, as according to the anime the Satellite is in outer-space and only strong monsters can reach the satellite.

Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004 have the Ion Cannon, which deals lots of damage in a wide radius, but requires an Ion Painter to designate a target area, and there needs to be a clear line of sight between the target area and, depending on the game, one of the satellites that actually fires the beam (2003) or the sky directly above (2004).

In Rimworld, the planet that your colonists are on has several abandoned satellite arrays which can serve this function though only one of the three current types is purpose built for it. Your colonists can activate one of them with one-use targeter items, hacked not to require security credentials from someone who's been dead for centuries. They can be orbital weapons which drop tons of bombs, solar collection satellites which shoot a massive beam of intense heat to the target, or weather manipulation satellites which create tornadoes.

Babylon 5:
In "Endgame", when Sheridan's forces arrive at Earth and easily overwhelm most of the remnants of EarthForce fleet, President Clark kills himself, after programming the planet's orbital defense system to take all of Earth with him. This means Sheridan's fleet must destroy the satellites before they fire.
The rebuilt orbital defense system shows up again in "A Call to Arms", and this time manages to fire their Wave Motion Guns at the target, the Drakh fleet. The Drakh are obliterated... but, sadly, not in time to stop them from infecting Earth with their plague.
The Expanded Universe has many other models from multiple factions. Honorable mention for capability and originality go to the Abbai Alanti, the Orieni Skywatch and the Drazi Shodroma: where most models are just a large gun or missile launcher (or both) with thrusters for positioning and aiming, the Alanti, like most things put in space by the Abbai, has actual Deflector Shields, the Skywatch complements the laser cannons and missiles with kamikaze drones to ram enemy targets (a standard Orieni weapon), and the Shodroma packs the same Drazi-designed Wave-Motion Gun of the Earth model (the blueprints of the weapon were given to Earth during the Earth-Minbari War as an apology for their inability to intervene and fight the Minbari).

Gunbound has two. First, the mobile E. Sate has a Kill Sat as its normal attack, though it doesn't as much fly through space as hover above its head. However, there's the giant Kill Sat named Thor that hovers above the stage, adding damage to attacks on certain turns, and becoming stronger as it deals more damage. The two of them together is a sight to see. Then there's the Aduka, whose secondary weapon is specifically designed to call down the Thor. A 4v4 match where everyone is piloting an Aduka... things aren't so bad in the beginning, but the pain really starts once Thor hits 3 or 4.

The expansion pack for Supreme Commander gives these to the UEF. They aren't particularly powerful, but given enough resources, you can use a group of them to pick off enemies with impunity. As a nice touch, if the control station is destroyed, the satellite de-orbits. Straight down at whatever it was targeting. With all the ready-to-explode mass and energy of any experimental. Did we mention wreckage ignores shields?

Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers:
The episode "Queen's Lair" revolves around the Rangers' efforts to take out one of these before The Queen of the Crown takes out Earth with it. This actually makes for one of the darker episodes of the series.
It's also played for tragedy in "Ghost Station". The Kill Sat is from a lost alien civilization that presumably blew itself to bits. The AI running the station tries holography and other tricks to try and scare the heroes off, then prematurely triggers its self-destruct in order to save Earth.

The 1978 Quatermass series (a.k.a. Quatermass IV or The Quatermass Conclusion) featured an alien device that lured people into small areas and then engulfed them in a column of light. True Believers assumed that the light was transporting them to a better planet. No such luck. It was actually a kind of nasty and insidious form of Kill Sat, only just to make things worse there wasn't an actual satellite that could be shot down. There was something that the Russians launched nuclear missiles at, but it didn't work.
In the novelisation (by the scriptwriter) Quatermass theorises that it's a kind of energy field surrounding the Earth like a huge soap bubble. When it needs to fire it just concentrates its energy on one spot.
