Reflect OrbitalArea?
https://www.reflectorbital.com/lighting
is proposing to launch a fleet of orbital mirrors to provide lighting
to nighttime locations on the Earth.
They claim they will be able to light up a 5km diameter circle for
4 minutes. They're accepting reservations, but I can't find any
pricing. They expect to start in Q4 2025.
I'm *extremely* skeptical. To be even as bright as moonlight,
the mirror would have to appear 1/7 the area of the Moon in
the sky.
I can't think of a use case for 4 minutes of light, but theyPop concert, one song. Or the _Romeo and Juliet_
also talk about using it to power up solar panel systems at
night, which makes no sense.
I think its either an art project, or some kind of scam to
fleece investors who are bad at math.
Still, very stfnal.
