Reflect Orbital

Reflect Orbital, founded in 2021, builds orbital infrastructure intended to redirect sunlight that would otherwise miss Earth. Its core product is a constellation of space-based mirrors that intercept solar energy and redirect it to precise locations on the ground, with the aim of extending solar energy production into evening peak-demand hours and providing illumination after dark without ground-based infrastructure.

The company's technical work spans space-based solar energy, orbital mirror constellations, satellite systems, aerospace engineering, optical redirection and beam targeting, and spacecraft design. The planned constellation is described as scaling to thousands of spacecraft by 2030. Targeted illumination is configurable from full moon brightness to daylight intensity and is contained within specific areas as small as 5 kilometres in diameter.

Applications listed include solar farms, disaster response, industrial operations and other uses requiring infrastructure-free lighting. The company states that it maintains strict exclusion zones for astronomy and sensitive environments, and that its designs incorporate precise targeting and rapid shutdown capabilities.
