Reflect Orbital, a California-based startup, has submitted an application to the government seeking approval to launch its inaugural satellite, which is outfitted with a massive reflective mirror, into space by 2026. The company asserts that its satellite constellation will have the capability to facilitate solar power generation during nighttime hours by redirecting sunlight. Additionally, it is expected to foster crop growth, serve as a substitute for urban lighting, offer emergency illumination in disaster-affected regions, and bolster nighttime activities.
