Startup SpinLaunch is working on an alternative way of firing things into space that doesn’t involve first-stage rockets, but instead a launch system that spins payloads around in a centrifuge and hurls them into the sky. Those payloads will need to be… Continue reading Satellite-flinging SpinLaunch puts NASA payload through the wringer
It’s fair to say that there’s really no phase of spaceflight that could be considered easy. But the case could be made that the most difficult part of a spacecraft’s …read more Continue reading SpinLaunch and the History of Hurling Stuff into Space
SpinLaunch has released on-board footage from its eighth suborbital flight test, giving us a unique opportunity to imagine what it’d be like to be hurled skyward out of a centrifugal accelerator at more than a thousand miles per hour.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading New video gives first-person view of what it’s like to be SpinLaunched
NASA has signed up to test SpinLaunch’s extraordinary whirl ‘n’ hurl space launch technology, which accelerates a launch vehicle to hypersonic speeds using an electric centrifuge instead of a rocket, hurling it skyward like a space discus.Continue Read… Continue reading NASA will test SpinLaunch’s ability to fling satellites into orbit
