Moonshot Space Ltd.
Hardware & Industrial — Stage: R&D. Est: 2024. Tags: Defense Tech, Hardware, Propulsion, SpaceTech, Upstream. Moonshot develops an electric electromagnetic accelerator that allows objects to be accelerated to hypersonic speeds of up to 8 kilometers per second. The company is targeting two areas: the first is the space sector: its development should enable the launch of small payloads, such as equipment for space stations and satellites, at lower costs and without the use of conventional missiles; and the second is the security sector - for the construction of hypersonic test facilities that shorten the development time of hypersonic systems, i.e. missiles and interceptors that travel at speeds five or more times the speed of sound. Moonshot's development is an electromagnetic kinetic accelerator - a ground-based facility that launches a capsule into space at tremendous speed, like a cannon. Upon arrival in space, it opens and a propulsion system puts the payload into orbit.. Web: https://moonshot.space
