LaunchPoint Technologies Inc. is proposing a cheaper way of launching satellites into earth orbit. The Launch Ring as they call it uses a maglev sled and a circular track to accelerate 1000Kg payloads into space. This approach is expected to be about 80% cheaper than the current (rocket based) costs of about $4000/lb.
It’s still in [...]
