Introduction
SpinLaunch is an innovative aerospace company developing a unique kinetic energy-based launch system. The company aims to provide a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional rocket launches by using a ground-based centrifuge to accelerate payloads to hypersonic speeds before releasing them into the upper atmosphere, where a small rocket then propels them into orbit.
List of Launch Vehicle
Suborbital Accelerator
This launch vehicle is designed for test flights and suborbital missions. It utilizes the centrifuge system to accelerate payloads to high speeds, simulating the conditions of an orbital launch without reaching orbit.
Orbital Accelerator
The primary launch vehicle for reaching orbit, this system employs the same centrifuge technology to provide the initial velocity needed to reach space. Once released, a small rocket stage ignites to propel the payload into its intended orbit.
