You would need an insane amount of stored energy in a satellite to accomplish this. I'm really not sure it's possible. Also, top right image is clearly clearly lense flare, which should be a hint

Not to mention the atmospheric scattering of any tight beam over the distance from low (or higher) orbit to ground level would be massive. Or any other number of physics problems that make beam weapons a joke outside of a pure vacuum (and even then only for a very short astronomical distance).
