Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace has signed a contract for two launches with US startup Reflect Orbital. The agreement involves deploying orbital mirrors designed to reflect sunlight onto Earth at night.
This technology could support rescue operations. It also has the potential to extend the availability of sunlight for solar farms.
The concept involves a large mirror in space, capturing the Sun's rays and redirecting them towards Earth after sunset. A California-based startup aims to make this idea a reality.
Skyroot Aerospace will play a key role in this plan. This collaboration marks an advancement in space technology, bringing futuristic concepts closer to practical application.
