Reflect Orbital, Inc is an American privately held space technology company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. Founded in 2021, the company designs and builds satellites with large-scale deployable mirrors to point sunlight onto Earth's surface. The stated goal is to provide responsive lighting after dark and to increase the effective hours of solar energy production. Investors in the company include venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital, Lux Capital, and Starship Ventures. In July 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted the company a license to launch its first demonstration satellite, Eärendil-1, aboard a SpaceX rideshare mission later that year. The company has said it ultimately aims to operate as many as 50,000 reflector satellites in orbit by 2035.
