Hawthorne, CA — November 10, 2026 — Reflect Orbital announced $73.5 million in new funding, taking total funding to more than $100 million. The new funding follows the company’s Series A in May 2025. Participants include existing investors Sequoia Capital, Lux Capital and Starship Ventures alongside new investors including Buckley Ventures, Convective Capital, The Uncommon Group and Salesforce Ventures, among others.

Reflect Orbital’s technology is designed to precisely redirect sunlight from space to Earth where, and when, it is needed, unlocking significant benefits including solar power generation after sunset and critical support for search-and-rescue operations in disaster zones. This follow-on investment supports Reflect Orbital’s initial satellite launches, continued development of its orbital reflector technology and expansion of commercial partnerships across energy and lighting.

The company recently filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a developmental satellite which, subject to regulatory approval, is designed to test the spacecraft and its communications payload. Reflect Orbital then expects to launch its inaugural demonstration mission, which has received approval from the FCC, in the second quarter of 2027. The mission will collect critical data on the deployment and performance of orbital reflectors in Low Earth Orbit to inform future scaling. The company has secured multiple new launch opportunities in 2027 in addition to its existing bookings, and recently announced the purchase of two dedicated launches with Skyroot Aerospace.

“We’ve made substantial progress on our journey to deliver net new, clean solar energy to a world that urgently needs it,” said Ben Nowack, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Reflect Orbital. “This includes several firsts, from numerous technological breakthroughs to our upcoming test missions. We’re taking a deliberate, science-led approach to deployment and are motivated by the practical benefits our technology can bring here on earth. We’re grateful to our investors for sharing our mission and ambition.”

Reflect Orbital continues to execute with intentionality. Every 3.5 days during production, Reflect Orbital builds a large reflector quadrant 28x thinner than a human hair, foldable down to a shoebox and completely flat and clear when tensioned. Each week, the company delivers a four-boom deployable structure used to tension the mirrors. And every two months, Reflect Orbital builds a 12,000-part satellite from scratch. Reflect Orbital is also working hard to deeply understand how its technology interacts with the world around it, and is excited to begin sharing the work of its Impact Science team soon.
