• Electromagnetic launchers use electric coils or rails to accelerate payloads along tracks, reaching orbital velocities
• Mature systems could cost $43/kg 💵 versus $3,245/kg 💰 for reusable rockets
• #China plans tests by 2028

Lunar gravity is 1/6th Earth's, and there's no atmosphere. Orbital velocity is only 1.68 km/s versus 8 km/s on Earth, making #electromagnetic launch far more practical. #Solar panels could provide steady power 🔋 https://greenlaunch.space/feeds/blog/electromagnetic-space-launch-system

#SpinLaunch’s future may lie off-world, sending payloads 📦 from the #Moon back to Earth, or further into #DeepSpace https://payloadspace.com/exclusive-meridian-space-spins-out-from-spinlaunch/
