For 4.5 billion years, Earth has known night, as half the planet slips into shadow, creating the natural cycle of light and dark under which life has evolved.
Now, a private startup is proposing a different future. Using thousands of satellites equipped with in-space mirrors, the company aims to reflect sunlight onto Earth’s surface at night, calling it “sunlight on demand.”
DarkSky opposes Reflect Orbital’s proposal as it is currently conceived and is calling on our community to take action. Sign DarkSky’s open letter to Reflect Orbital and its investors, and opt in for updates on this issue, including guidance on submitting comments to the FCC when the open comment period opens in early 2026.
The night is not for sale. We all deserve a voice in shaping the future of the night sky.
