California startup Reflect Orbital, focused on developing space-enabled infrastructure to deliver sunlight at night to precise locations on earth, has booked two Skyroot Aerospace launches to deploy future spacecraft.

Dedicated launches such as these provide assured schedule and capacity and complement Reflect’s other planned launches from sites in the U.S., it said, announcing on Wednesday (October 14, 2026) purchase of two launches from the Hyderabad-based Skyroot.

“There’s a real launch capacity shortage right now. We’re excited to work with a new launch provider, Skyroot, to help ensure access to space,” Reflect Orbital co-founder and CEO Ben Nowack said.
