Just stumbled across this fantastic project idea! 🚀
It’s called Reflect Orbital, and the concept is truly mind-blowing. They are planning to launch satellites equipped with reflective mirrors to direct sunlight down to specific areas on Earth.
Imagine the possibilities:
☀️ Extending daylight hours for solar farms to maximize energy production
🌱 Supporting agriculture with extra light during growing seasons
🏗️ Illuminating construction sites or disaster areas at night
The satellites would orbit at 625km, creating an area of light roughly 5km wide – bright enough to replace stadium lights but powered entirely by the sun. It’s a fascinating blend of space technology and sustainable innovation.
