The United States has approved a satellite designed to beam light down to Earth at night.
The Federal Communications Commission recently granted a demonstration license to the startup Reflect Orbital for its Earendil-1 satellite. The craft is intended to use an orbital mirror to redirect sunlight onto Earth during nighttime hours.
Despite strong opposition from scientists and environmental groups, the FCC stated that assessing light pollution, interference with telescopes, and other non-radio environmental effects lies entirely outside its regulatory authority. The ruling therefore allows the test to proceed without any formal evaluation of its optical impacts, creating a clear gap in federal oversight as private companies move to commercialize artificial lighting from space.
Astronomers and conservation organizations have expressed deep concern about the precedent this decision establishes. The American Astronomical Society has cautioned that the technology could cause catastrophic interference with federally funded research. Groups such as Dark Sky International highlight the harmful effects of artificial night lighting on human circadian rhythms and nocturnal wildlife.
If Reflect Orbital’s demonstration succeeds, the company plans to launch as many as 50,000 mirror satellites by 2035. Critics warn that a constellation of that size would permanently brighten the planet’s darkest skies and render ground-based astronomical observations virtually impossible.
