Reflect Orbital mirror constellation
A planned fleet of mirror satellites that reflect sunlight onto a patch of ground at least 5 km wide for approved users. The company's roadmap starts with 2 satellites in 2026 and grows past 1,000 by 2028.
Why it matters
Sunlight on demand could light a search-and-rescue site or a remote work camp without generators, and could extend the hours existing solar farms produce power without new land or ground hardware. The company says it keeps exclusion zones for astronomy and sensitive environments.
How the technology works
Each satellite points a mirror so reflected sunlight lands on a chosen spot, and its roadmap has brightness rising as the fleet grows. The company plans two services from the same fleet: Light, starting at about full-moon brightness for a few minutes, and Energy, which adds output to solar farms and is in testing through 2028.
