The company Reflect Orbital plans to launch thousands of satellites, which are essentially giant reflective panels or space mirrors, into low-Earth orbit. The purpose of these satellites is to redirect sunlight onto the night side of Earth. The company suggests that this extended light can be used for several applications, including powering solar arrays, aiding in search and rescue operations, and even helping to combat seasonal depression by lengthening the perceived daylight hours.
