SpinLaunch Inc. is a spaceflight technology development company based in Long Beach, California, founded in 2014. The company is focused on creating an innovative launch system that utilizes a large mass accelerator, or centrifuge, to propel payloads into space without the use of chemical propellants. This kinetic space launch system is designed to enable on-demand launches of small satellites in various weather conditions. By spinning the payload in a vacuum to minimize friction, SpinLaunch aims to achieve speeds of approximately 3,000 miles per hour. This method allows for a more cost-effective and sustainable approach to space travel, as the system can either launch payloads directly into space or assist them with supplemental rockets to exit Earth's atmosphere.
