Does the SMS boost production for miners as well?

I've been 'tinkering' around with a few late games lately and I'd like to take some of my asteroid systems that I have heavily mined and convert 1 asteroid to a planet for such a use. If I put a SMS on it, will it boost my production throughout the system for the orbital miners (no planet facs)?

I know it seems almost pointless doing that at that stage of the game but I like to mess with things sometimes once I've already 'won' the game.

What I want to end up doing is to build just 1 WP in and out of a few of these asteroid systems from 1 central system, gift away everything but those asteroid systems and that central system, and start over.

The AI is pretty easy to beat even that way but it's quite fun "coming back" from such a percieved deficit.
