in the stategy guide on the Wiki it says:
Satellites are cool because you don't need to study much to get them and once you build them you can put your superior particle beam weapons on them and build them on planets that can't build ships or can't upgrade
I've researched sats but I'm not sure what weapons are referred to -there are some in the tech tree that are probably what is referred to but can anyone be a bit more specific?

I think they are referring to stuff like the Anti-Proton Beam (technically a particle beam?), from Energy Stream Weapon tech.
It is the same weight as the Depleted Uranium Cannon, has slightly better range, and they don't need Ordnance.
Not needing ordnance can have a few advantages when it comes to satellites, especially when Large Satellite Mounts and/or systems without Resupply Depots are involved.

I suppose he only meant it as "your new cool weapons"...
