Solar Mirror - Soletta

I am a fan of the Mars series by K S Robinson. Is there any Traveller material on geo-engineering?

For example, take the Solleta - a mirror system orbiting the L1 point. Find a C-type asteroid with some aluminium and water. Maneuver it into L1, get drones and fabricator units to start automated manufacture/assembly of the system. This should be possible at T8. Lots of marginal cold worlds out there that might benefit from +5C Climate change... Or a -5C change if it simply shades.

This doesn't appear to be a thing in OTU. Or is it?
 
I believe it’s implied, left up to the referee to determine the specifics for a given world.

But no, no specific terraforming rules I know of. The old Pocket Empires supplement might have some IIRC.
 
"The desert world of Thisbe (Thisbe 0109 E4305AD 5) has undertaken a long-term project to divert large numbers of frozen water and gas asteroids from the Thisben belt to the planetary surface; the intention is an improved atmosphere and hydrographic percentage."

Note the TL... 5.

So terraforming is a thing.
