In this episode of The Techne Connect, Ally Stone, Chief Strategy Officer at Reflect Orbital, explains how her team is using satellite mirrors to deliver “sunlight on demand,” extending solar power generation from space.

She shares her path from renewable energy and finance to leading strategy in the space sector, and how Reflect’s technology bridges sustainability and orbital innovation. Ally discusses falling launch costs, new commercial models in space, and how space-based systems can support clean energy on Earth.

She also reflects on raising major funding rounds, the value of generalist leadership in startups, and maintaining balance in fast-growing environments. Expect a grounded discussion on innovation, adaptability, and Reflect Orbital’s plans for its first satellite launch next year.
