The U.S. Federal Communications Commission signed off on a test launch of a Reflect Orbital satellite. The California-based project plans to reflect sunlight onto Earth at night after sundown, producing artificial daylight for rescue crews. The goal seeks to light up emergency blackout zones or nighttime military operations or other critical work. Regulators alerted that the test could interfere with other satellites including weather satellites and harm the environment and wildlife. The federal regulator may launch in 2027 for a first in-orbit tryout of the technology that promises new lighting solutions.
