California-based Reflect Orbital is developing a commercial service built around large orbital mirrors that reflect sunlight...

The commercial space industry is entering a new phase in which launching a spacecraft is no longer the only milestone that matters. The ability to manufacture valuable products in orbit, operate multiple vehicles simultaneously, and return payloads safely to Earth is emerging as a distinct industrial capability. Varda Space Industries is positioning itself at the center of this transition, expanding its orbital manufacturing operations through a growing fleet of spacecraft designed for...
