the technology could reduce fuel consumption by a factor of four while costing ten times less than traditional rockets, and it could put multiple payloads into orbit each day. obviously, no one is suggesting its use for manned missions or super-heavy payloads.<\/p>\n
spinlaunch may be perfect for any launch vehicle weighing less than 440 pounds.<\/p>\n
the key is ruggedizing the packaging so it can take the punishment of 10,000 g force and being released at a speed of over six times the speed of sound (around 5,000 mph.) once the vehicle is released, a second-stage rocket can take over and provide the power to get the package into orbit.<\/p>\n
spinlaunch says that they can save up to 70 percent of the fuel by eliminating the first-stage rocket. in essence, hurling the vehicle will use a quarter of the fuel at a tenth of the price.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
nasa signed a deal with spinlaunch to develop and integrate a nasa payload, bristling with testing equipment, for a slower sub-orbital launch, perhaps as early as later this year. meanwhile, spinlaunch is working on a timetable for a first orbital launch in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cspinlaunch is offering a unique suborbital flight and high-speed testing service, and the recent launch agreement with nasa marks a key inflection point as spinlaunch shifts focus from technology development to commercial offerings,\u201d says spinlaunch founder and ceo jonathan yaney in statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cwhat started as an innovative idea to make space more accessible has materialized into a technically mature and game-changing approach to launch,\u201d yaney says.<\/p>\n
