This company lets you order sunlight from an app. Insane… A startup called Reflect Orbitals is literally taking orders to deliver sunlight after dark. It sounds like a sci-fi movie, but they are actively working to launch massive mirrors into low Earth orbit right now. The space logistics behind this are wild. 🛰️ These orbiting reflectors are designed to catch the sun’s rays from space and bounce a targeted, 5-kilometer-wide beam of light down to Earth. Because of how fast they orbit, one satellite can currently only illuminate a specific spot for about four minutes at a time. It’s less “endless summer” and more “very intense celestial spotlight.” It’s an incredibly ambitious idea, but the actual endgame here isn’t just a party trick. It has incredible real world applications that could have a major positive impact on multiple sectors: - Agricultural Support: provide targeted light to crops, potentially extending growing seasons. - Disaster Relief: Illuminates large disaster ...
