Et planlagt netværk af satellitter vækker stor bekymring blandt astronomer. I modsætning til satellitter, der tilfældigt reflekterer sollyset og skaber lysforurening i rummet som en utilsigtet bivirkning, vil satellitterne fra den amerikanske startup-virksomhed Reflect Orbital skabe lysforurening med vilje. Virksomheden lover at levere 'sollys på kommando' ved hjælp af spejle, der sender sollys ned til Jorden, så solcelleanlæggene kan fungere efter solnedgang.

A empresa promete fornecer “luz solar sob demanda” com espelhos que refletem a luz do Sol para a Terra, permitindo que as usinas de energia solar operem após o pôr do sol.
