Reflect Orbital, a Hawthorne, CA-based spacetech startup, raised $20m in Series A funding.
The round was led by Lux Capital, with participation from Sequoia Capital and Starship Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to support team growth, scale operations, and the first space missions.
Led by Ben Nowack, CEO & Co-founder, Reflect Orbital is building a constellation of satellites designed to reflect sunlight down to Earth for large-scale lighting and energy applications. Its first satellite will launch as early as Spring 2026, beginning with its limited “World Tour” lighting experiences in 10 iconic locations. From there, the company will expand to provide lighting for remote operations, defense, civil infrastructure, and energy generation.
Reflect is actively contracting with customers after receiving over 260,000 applications for satellite-reflected sunlight from 157 countries last fall.
