Reflect Orbital
Builds and operates a constellation of orbital mirror satellites that redirect natural sunlight to targeted areas on Earth for extended solar energy generation and on-demand illumination
Reflect Orbital designs, manufactures, and operates small satellites equipped with large deployable mirrors that redirect natural sunlight to targeted areas on Earth's surface. Each satellite carries an 18-by-18-meter reflector in sun-synchronous orbit at approximately 600 km altitude. The company offers on-demand illumination and extended solar energy generation for utility-scale solar farms.
The first demonstration satellites are scheduled for launch in 2026, with plans to scale to over 1,000 satellites by 2028. Reflect Orbital holds SBIR contracts from AFWERX and the Department of Energy, and has raised $29 million in total funding including a $20 million Series A led by Lux Capital. Founded in 2021, the company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
