Workshop overview:

Is low Earth orbit the next frontier for conservation? The night sky is changing—not just from light pollution on the ground, but from a rapidly growing number of technologies in orbit. Reflect Orbital has received FCC approval to test a prototype satellite designed to use space-based mirrors to reflect sunlight back to Earth, while SpaceX and other companies are proposing dramatic expansions of satellite infrastructure to support the next generation of AI and commercial space services.

Join experts from astronomy, space policy, conservation, and the space industry as they explore one of the most important emerging issues in dark sky conservation. Discover what these changes could mean for the future of the night sky—and how innovation and environmental stewardship can move forward together.
