El Eärendil-1 es un espejo espacial que Reflect Orbital espera poner a 600 km de altura este año; reflejará la luz solar para iluminar la noche terrestre

"We're excited to demonstrate how our technology works and to introduce transformative, clean technology the world urgently needs."

Ruimtevaart: Om ook ’s nachts gebruik te kunnen maken van zonlicht, wil Reflect Orbital 50.000 satellieten met spiegels in een baan rond de aarde krijgen. Voor de lancering van…

The startup will begin testing its idea of creating sunlight after dark.

Approval of test satellite that reflects sunlight to Earth, promises extra solar energy but raises concerns about safety, environmental impact, and disruption of natural rhythms

The FCC authorized Reflect Orbital to launch the mirror satellite Eärendil-1. “For optical astronomy, this poses an existential threat,” the European Southern Observatory said.

The FCC authorized Reflect Orbital to launch the mirror satellite Eärendil-1. “For optical astronomy, this poses an existential threat,” the European Southern Observatory said.

Eärendil-1 could be the first of a 50,000 satellite constellation, despite concerns about light pollution.

Entre los usos planteados se encuentran la iluminación de operaciones de búsqueda y rescate o, también, la ampliación del tiempo de funcionamiento de instalaciones solares.
